P 123. CIPASS: Trial of a daily program of cerebral stimulation by TMS using a PAS paradigm in the recovery phase of stroke patients

Conclusion: A daily program of PAS session seems to induce long-term changes in the excitability of corticospinal projection to wrist muscles in group PAS up to 3days following the end of the stimulation program; motor effects seem however less conclusive. These results have to be confirmed with a larger sample to allow us to draw reliable conclusions. This trial will help us to better understand brain plasticity processes and to prove the relevance of CIPASS use as a therapeutic adjunct in stroke rehabilitation.
