Summary

This proposal is a prospective, single-center, dose-escalation safety, tolerability, feasibility and potential efficacy study of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in acute stroke patients with substantial salvageable penumbra due to a large vessel occlusion who are ineligible for intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy.

Conditions

  • Stroke, Acute

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Patients will be randomized to active treatment (C-tDCS) vs sham stimulation in a 3:1 ratio. There will be 6 dose tiers, reflecting increasing intensity and duration of stimulation: Tier 1 - 1 mA, single 20 - min cycle; Tier 2- 2 mA, single 20 min cycle; Tier 3 - 1 mA, 2 cycles of 20 min/20 min off; Tier 4- 2 mA, 2 cycles of 20 min/20 min off; Tier 5 - 1 mA, 3 cycles of 20 min/20 min off; Tier 6 - 2 mA, 3 cycles of 20 min/20 min off.

OTHER

Sham Stimulation

Patients will be randomized to active treatment (C-tDCS) vs sham stimulation in a 3:1 ratio. Patients in the sham stimulation arm at all the tiers will have the cap and electrodes in place, and sham switch moved but without prolonged delivery of electrical stimulation.
