Changes in Motor Function Induced by Chronic Motor Cortex Stimulation in Post-Stroke Pain Patients

<i>Background:</i> 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. <i>Objectives:</i> We aimed to clarify the effects of long-term MCS and the optimal stimulation conditions to improve motor weakness in post-stroke patients....
