Implication

Randomized trial compares different durations of tDCS for functional recovery in stroke patients, suggesting new rehabilitation strategies.

Key Points

The aim is to determine the optimal therapeutic dose of bi-hemispheric tDCS combined with rehabilitation therapies for upper limb recovery in stroke patients.
Randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing 30 minutes versus 20 minutes of bi-hemispheric tDCS.
Participants include individuals with subacute stroke from two hospitals.
Intervention consists of 18 sessions of combined tDCS and modified constraint-induced movement therapy.
The outcomes will assess UL motor and functional recovery scales.
Independence in daily living activities and quality of life will also be measured.
