Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (tDCS) can improve arm movement in people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 11 participants received either real or fake stimulation during 20 sessions of hand and arm therapy. The goal was to see if tDCS boosts the effects of standard rehabilitation. Results are still being analyzed.
