It will also learn about the safety of DN-DBS.

What medical problems do participants have when using DN-DBS for post-stroke rehabilitation?\n\nResearchers will compare real DN-DBS+rehabilitation to sham DN-DBS+rehabilitation (electrodes will be implanted, but no electrical current is given) to see if DN-DBS works to promote chronic post-stroke upper limb motor function.\n\nParticipants will:\n\nUndergo unilateral DN-DBS surgery Take real DN-DBS+rehabilitation or sham DN-DBS+rehabilitation as treatment for 6 months Visit the clinic every month during the DN-DBS+rehabilitation (treatment) period for programing, checkups and tests Visit the clinic at Day 1, 30, 90 and 365 after treatment period for checkups and tests'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1.

Moderate-severe unilateral upper limb paralysis, i.e., the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-UE) scale score is ≤47;\n7. The distal extremity of the limb has some degree of motor function (flexion of the elbow joint or extension of the elbow joint or partial finger flexion with FMA-UE ≥1);\n8. mRS\\<4 points, able to cooperate with assessment and rehabilitation;\n9. No spasticity or mild spasticity in any part of the affected limb (intramuscular rotator muscle and adductor muscle of the shoulder joint, flexor muscle of the elbow joint, flexor muscle of the wrist joint or finger flexor muscle), modified Ashworth scale (MAS) \\<4 points;\n10. MMSE\\>24 points.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n1. Primary hemorrhagic stroke or severe hemorrhagic conversion;\n2.

Switching to oral spasticity medication within 2 weeks of enrollment, or injection of botulinum toxin in the affected arm within 4 months, and/or intention to start taking spasticity medication or inject botulinum toxin during the study follow-up period or within 12 months after implantation;\n10. The presence of active psychosis that may affect treatment effect, such as psychosis or severe personality disorder;\n11. Untreated or inadequately treated depression, i.e., Beck Depression Inventory score of 20 or more at admission;\n12. Diagnosis of dementia;\n13. Uncontrolled hypertension or history of cardiovascular disease for a long time;\n14. MRI contraindications, such as implanted metal devices or electronic devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, spinal cord stimulators);\n15.

Non-pregnant or fertile women must use acceptable contraception, and pregnant women are excluded or terminated from the study;\n17. Received decompressive craniectomy;\n18. The patient has severe cerebral small vessel disease, basilar artery vascular disease, and/or any other structural abnormalities of the cerebellum, cerebellar peduncles, and brainstem that prevent safe placement of DBS;\n19.
