In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The aim of this clinical trial is to determine whether deep brain stimulation (DBS) interventions improve rehabilitation and functional recovery in patients with post-stroke spasticity who meet the other inclusion criteria listed below. Primary question(s) to be answered: Is DBS stimulation effective in treating post-stroke spasticity? What stimulation frequency is most effective in treating post-stroke spasticity? Study participants will: * Undergo surgery to implant a DBS electrode targeting the DRTt (dentate-rubro-thalamic tract ) in close proximity of the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum ipsilateral to the spastic side of the body. * Each patient will then receive an initial stimulation frequency of 130 Hz (arm 1) and will be assigned to a 4- to 6-week rehabilitation program. After this period, the participant will return for a follow-up visit for a clinical evaluation. * The fr
