The Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Improving Impairment and Functional Activity in Individuals With Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Oct 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke patients often experience impaired balance and weight-bearing due to muscle weakness and neurological deficits. Motor rehabilitation is a crucial goal in their recovery, and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach. When combined with motor training, tDCS can enhance walking and balance abilities. However, there is a lack of research exploring the combination of unstable surfaces training, cognitive function, and tDCS for stroke rehabilitation
