Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Acute Ischemic Stroke

NCT04938076 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 172

Last updated 2024-07-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) such as transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) has been reported to be effective in improving motor performance and safe in participants with cerebral infarction. However, few studies have been done in participants with acute cerebral infarction. In this study, the investigators want to see the effect of tDCS in acute cerebral infarction. the investigators perform tDCS in participants with acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours after stroke onset and the investigators measure motor weakness and function at early phase as well as at 3 months.
