Effects of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Individuals
The Effects of Bilateral-Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) on Cortical Activity, Motor Performances, and Cognitive Function in Sub-Acute and Chronic Stroke Individuals
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The present study will use transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) with conventional physical therapy in sub-acute (at least 2 weeks after stroke onset) to chronic stroke within 2 years to investigate the effect on cortical activity and upper and lower limb motor function. The findings may support the usage of tES for improving brain activity and motor function in a clinic setting.
