Post-stroke Fatigue, Inflammation, tDCS
Effects of tDCS on Post-stroke Fatigue and Inflammation
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 10 Dec 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Fatigue is a common condition after an individual has a stroke. While the negative impacts of post-stroke fatigue are well known, the knowledge of the causes of post-stroke fatigue and effective treatments for post-stroke fatigue are lacking. This small study will investigate the possible benefits of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which uses small electrical currents supplied by a 9-volt battery, on post-stroke fatigue and investigate tDCS' possible anti-inflammatory effects.
