Virtual reality meets brain zaps: new hope for stroke recovery?
NCT ID NCT07629791
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether combining augmented reality (AR) balance exercises with a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can improve balance and movement in people who have had a stroke. About 28 chronic stroke survivors with balance issues will be split into two groups: one doing AR training alone, and the other doing AR training plus tDCS. The goal is to see if adding brain stimulation leads to better balance and fall prevention.
