摘要 |
Introduction: Upper limb motor dysfunction after stroke is a leading cause of
disability worldwide, resulting in a significant economic burden on society.
Rehabilitation is a key strategy for improving this condition. Although
studies have shown that digital mirror therapy and repetitive peripheral
magnetic stimulation individually provide benefits, the effectiveness of
their combination remains unclear. We are conducting a randomised
controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of combining digital mirror therapy
with repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation in treating upper limb motor
dysfunction post-stroke, in order to meet the urgent
clinical need for more effective treatment options. Methods and
analysis: This is a single-blind randomised controlled trial. A total of 46 participants
will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the digital mirror therapy
combined with repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation group or the
repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation group. Both groups will undergo
the intervention protocol spanning four consecutive weeks. Assessments will
be conducted at baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary outcome
will be evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity score.
Secondary outcomes include the Action Research Arm Test, Box and Block Test,
Modified Barthel Index, Fugl-Meyer Assessment - Upper Extremity Sensory
subscale, Modified Ashworth Scale, as well as pinch strength, grip strength
and adverse events. Intention-to-treat analysis will be applied to all data,
including missing or dropout data. Ethics and
dissemination: The study was approved by the
Ethics Committee of Quanzhou First Hospital on 23 September 2024 (2024K193).
The final results of this study will be published in
a peer-reviewed journal. Trial registration number: ChiCTR2400092692. |
