First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test whether mild electrical brain stimulation, combined with physical therapy, changes brain activity in people who had a stroke. Sixty participants will receive either direct or alternating current stimulation during rehab sessions. Researchers will measure blood oxygen levels in the brain to see if the stimulation helps recovery.
