First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (HD-tDCS) to virtual reality therapy could help people who had a stroke more than 3 months ago recover arm function. 58 adults with arm weakness took part. The goal was to see if the combination improved movement and reduced arm disability better than virtual reality alone.
