Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Cognition in Stroke

Effects of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Cognition in Subacute Stroke

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Dec 2023

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Pervious literature shows the effects of tDCS and RehaCom on cognition in chronic stage of stroke and only short-term effects were seen, but detailed evidence-based study on cognition in subacute and acute stages of stroke is spare and there is limited number of studies are available on effects of tDCS in cognition in both acute and subacute stages of stroke. Some polite studies were done in acute stage of stroke and only short-term effects of tDCS were evaluated along with other outcome measures including upper and lower limb motor recovery, balance and improving activity of daily living. The long-term effects of transcranial direct stimulation only for the improvement of cognition in subacute stage of stroke are yet to be seen. This study will help us in evaluating the long-term effects of aTDCS and RehaCom cognitive therapy on cognition in subacute stage of stroke.
