Can a brain ZAP boost stroke recovery? new pilot study explores
NCT ID NCT05248178
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) with a thinking-strategies training program could help people who had a stroke more than six months ago perform everyday activities better. Eleven participants were enrolled to see if the approach was feasible and showed any early promise. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
