Shock therapy for stroke: new hope for walkers?
NCT ID NCT03666533
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 21 times
Summary
This study tested whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, when combined with physical therapy, can improve walking in people who had a stroke. 44 stroke survivors at least 6 months past their first stroke took part. The goal was to see if adding tDCS to gait training leads to greater improvements in walking speed and function than therapy alone.
