Action Observation Treatment for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Patients With Stroke: Protocol for a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: In the last few years, new noninvasive strategies have emerged as rehabilitative treatments for patients with stroke. Action observation treatment (AOT) is a rehabilitation approach based on the properties of the mirror neuron system with a positive impact on modifying cortical activation patterns and improving the upper limb kinematics. AOT involves the dynamic process of observing purposeful actions with the intention of imitating and then practicing those actions. In recent years, several clinical studies suggested the effectiveness of AOT in patients with stroke to improve motor recovery and autonomy in activities of daily living. However, a deeper knowledge of the behavior of the sensorimotor cortex during AOT seems to be essential. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this clinical trial, conducted in 2 neurorehabilitation centers and in patients' homes, is to investigate the effectiveness of AOT in patients with stroke, confirming the translational power of a tailored treatment. Particular emphasis will be placed on the predictive value of neurophysiological biomarkers. In addition, the feasibility and impact of a home-based AOT program will be investigated. METHODS: A 3-arm, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial will be performed by enrolling patients with stroke in the chronic stage. A total of 60 participants will be randomly allocated to receive 15 sessions of AOT with different protocols (AOT at the hospital, AOT at home, and sham AOT), 3 sessions per week. The primary outcome will be assessed using the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity scores. Secondary outcomes will be clinical, biomechanical, and neurophysiological assessment. RESULTS: The study protocol is part of a project (project code GR-2016-02361678) approved and funded by the Italian Ministry of Health. The study began with the recruitment phase in January 2022, and enrollment was expected to end in October 2022. Recruitment is now closed (December 2022). The results of this study are expected to be published in spring 2023. Upon completion of the analyses, we will examine the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention and neurophysiological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: This study will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of 2 different AOT scenarios (ie, AOT at the hospital and AOT at home) in patients with chronic stroke and to assess the predictive value of neurophysiological biomarkers. Specifically, we will attempt to induce the functional modification of the cortical components by exploiting the features of the mirror neuron system, demonstrating relevant clinical, kinematic, and neurophysiological changes after AOT. With our study, we also want to provide, for the first time in Italy, the AOT home-based program while assessing its feasibility and impact.
