Background: In well-designed multicenter studies, the protocol of continuing motor cortex stimulation (MCS) temporarily for 3-6 weeks was employed with rehabilitation therapy, and these studies showed some recovery of motor weakness in post-stroke patients.
Objectives: We aimed to clarify the effects of long-term MCS and the optimal stimulation conditions to improve motor weakness in post-stroke patients.
Methods: We applied chronic MCS in 6 post-stroke pain patients with motor weakness.
