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 along with standard hand and arm exercises for 20 sessions. Researchers measured brain activity and arm function before, after, and one month later to see if the treatment helped.
