Effects Of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation On Spasticity In Stroke Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Nov 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Multiple research has worked on tDCS and its impact on stroke. But none have studied the effects of tDCS on stroke in relation to the different stages of stroke like mild, moderate, moderate to severe and severe stroke as per national institute of health (NIH) scale. Additionally, this study will be conducted to address the few drawbacks in previous studies such as short follow up period by employing evidence based standardized protocols. It can potentially instigate the efficacy of tDCS on spasticity, motor recovery and Quality of life in relation to the different severity levels of stroke.
