Non-invasive Neuromodulation NESA Application in the Rehabilitation of Stroke Sequelae
Sponsor: University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Summary
To evaluate whether NESA microcurrents can be used as an effective treatment for various sequelae present in stroke patients, specifically in the treatment of spasticity, balance, pain; and whether it affects quality of life, performance of activities of daily living and quality of sleep.

Conditions
Interventions
Non-invasive Neuromodulation
The electrodes will be placed with the help of gloves and adapted socks for 1 hour, each session, until 13 intervention sessions are completed. In addition, depending on the session, an adhesive electrode will be placed at the level of C7. Characteristics of microcurrents: pulsed monophasic rectangular wave with a pulse of 1.3 s and pause of 300 ms, voltage 3 millivolt and intensity 0.5 μA
Placebo Non-invasive Neuromodulation
The same protocol described for the experimental group will be applied, but microcurrents device which will be previously manipulated and tested with an oscilloscope so that they do not emit electrical currents.
