Effects of brain-computer interface based training on post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous research has used the brain-computer interface (BCI) to promote upper-limb motor rehabilitation. However, the results of these studies were variable, leaving efficacy unclear.

Objectives

This review aims to evaluate the effects of BCI-based training on post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation and identify potential factors that may affect the outcome.

Design

A meta-analysis including all available randomized-controlled clinical trials (RCTs) that reported the efficacy of BCI-based training on upper-limb motor rehabilitation after stroke.

Data sources and methods

We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science before September 15, 2024, for relevant studies. The primary efficacy outcome was the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper extremity (FMA
