Non Invasive Neuromodulation for Patients With Motor Control Disorders

Study Description
Brief Summary:

Movement disorders are neurological syndromes leading to excessive movements or to limited control of voluntary and automatic movements. Many of these disorders are not life-threatening but represent serious difficulties in carrying out the activities of daily living and reduce patient's independence and quality of life.

This project NeuroMOD (neuromodulation for patients with disorders of motor control) proposes the development of a neuromodulation-based platform for the rehabilitation and restoration of motor and cognitive functions of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD). Our project will focus on the application of a novel neurorehabilitation strategy, its functional and clinical validation, and on the evaluation of the impact of the use of the technologies involved in the musculoskeletal and the nervous system as well as user behavior.

Parkinson's disease was selected as target pathology since it represents a paradigm of motor disorder diseases.

Parkinson's disease affects adults and has a very high prevalence and a very high functional impact.

In order to achieve this objective, we have defined the following research areas:

Subproject 1. NeuroMOD: development of a neuromodulation platform composed by a TMS system, and an EMG (electromyography) and EEG (electroencephalography) system in combination with a system of virtual reality based on immersive glasses.

Subproject 2. NeuroMOD-PD: development of therapies and evaluation of clinical evidence and motor and cognitive impact of NeuroMOD in the rehabilitation of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease impact.

Subproject 3. NeuroMOD-Image: development of neuroimaging techniques to investigate the brain areas affected by the proposed therapies and temporary terms that neural plasticity is induced and evolves in Parkinson´s Disease.

Official Title: Development and Clinical Validation of a Rehabilitation Platform Based on Neuromodulation for Patients With Motor Control Disorders
Actual Study Start Date : September 1, 2016
Actual Primary Completion Date : December 20, 2018
Actual Study Completion Date : September 30, 2019
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Repetitive stimulating transcranial stimulation (rTMS)
Subjects receive 8 sessions M1 Neuromodulation using rTMS according to the protocol ( 80% resting motor threshold, 10 Hertz; 1000 pulses; 25 trains de 4 seconds con 25 seconds intertrain.
Other: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
The intervention intends to change the cortical plasticity in specific cortical areas. rTMS is a non-invasive exogenous neuromodulation technique that uses repetitive magnetic pulses administered in a specific area of the head in order to influence the connectivity of the underlying brain area.

Experimental: EEG guided Neurofeedback (NFB)
Subjects receive 8 sessions M1 EEG guided NFB with virtual reality goggles in order to modify the beta rhythm. The sessions have a duration of 20min
Other: EEG guided Neurofeedback (NFB)
The intervention intends to change the cortical plasticity in specific cortical areas. The NFB is a non-invasive endogenous technique that seeks the self-regulation of cortical activity through the information represented in a videogame which is used to interact with the subject.

Experimental: rTMS + NFB
Subjects receive both interventions sequentially
Other: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
The intervention intends to change the cortical plasticity in specific cortical areas. rTMS is a non-invasive exogenous neuromodulation technique that uses repetitive magnetic pulses administered in a specific area of the head in order to influence the connectivity of the underlying brain area.

Other: EEG guided Neurofeedback (NFB)
The intervention intends to change the cortical plasticity in specific cortical areas. The NFB is a non-invasive endogenous technique that seeks the self-regulation of cortical activity through the information represented in a videogame which is used to interact with the subject.

No Intervention: No intervention
No interventions, the patient just comes to be evaluated sequentially according to the timing of experimental groups.
