Summary
This study tests whether combining two types of brain stimulation (tDCS and rTMS) can improve motor function in people with locked-in syndrome, a condition where a person is awake but cannot move or speak. Researchers will enroll 72 adults aged 18-70 who have had the condition for 6 weeks to 1 year. Participants will receive either real or sham stimulation daily for 4 weeks, and their movement will be tracked for 6 months afterward.
