0.16 -> a new study reveals deep brain
2.159 -> stimulation can help people recover
4.48 -> faster from a stroke years in the making
7.6 -> a doctor with cleveland clinic explains
9.92 -> how this technology actually works
12.719 -> we
13.679 -> evaluated for the first time if we could
16.72 -> use a modified
19.359 -> type of deep brain stimulation a
21.76 -> modified type of brain pacemaker
25.039 -> going into an area of the brain called
28.16 -> the
28.84 -> cerebellum if we could help people
31.84 -> recover
33.2 -> from
34.399 -> the weakness
36 -> that resulted from a stroke
37.92 -> dr machado says 12 patients were
40.559 -> involved with the trial and seven of
42.8 -> them had a great response while the
45.2 -> other five saw less of an improvement
47.68 -> for those who did do well they were able
50.079 -> to regain mobility in their hand and arm
53.52 -> he says they learned during the research
55.6 -> that the more residual movement a stroke
58 -> patient had prior the better their
60.32 -> outcome
61.28 -> there were a lot of amazing stories to
63.52 -> come out of this trial a man by the name
65.84 -> of joe who was a mechanic had not been
68.479 -> able to use his hand for years and can
71.119 -> now work on vehicles again
73.2 -> dr machado says it's been inspiring and
76.24 -> it's really meaningful for the
78.08 -> researchers
79.28 -> to see that their work is making a real
82.4 -> impact in someone's life
84.479 -> and it motivates us
87.119 -> when a patient tells us
89.36 -> this has been so relevant this has been
91.439 -> so meaningful to me that now i can do
93.2 -> these things
94.32 -> that i couldn't do before it just makes
97.52 -> us work harder
101.119 -> and it's life-changing for patients and
102.88 -> so many people will suffer from stroke
104.799 -> so this is a big deal dr machado said
106.96 -> their research though is still far from
108.799 -> over they are getting ready for the next
110.799 -> phase of the trial which will also
112.72 -> include more patients about 40 also
114.88 -> involvement from other u.s organizations
117.2 -> as well
