Brain zap plus treadmill training aims to boost stroke recovery
NCT ID NCT04477330
First seen May 15, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining a mild brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with treadmill training can improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. Researchers will enroll 100 participants who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and have trouble walking. The goal is to see if this approach leads to faster walking speeds and better movement control.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more effective gait rehabilitation protocol for stroke survivors, improving walking speed and independence.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with a small sample size. The brain stimulation may not provide additional benefit over treadmill training alone, and individual results may vary.
