This study is looking at how personalized transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with occupational therapy (OT) might help people recover after a stroke. tDCS uses a weak electrical current applied to your head. Researchers want to see if this treatment can improve how different parts of your brain connect, which could lead to lasting improvements in your recovery. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 80 years old, had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke more than three months ago, and have some weakness in one side of your body. The main goal is to measure changes in brain connectivity using a special brain scan (fMRI) at the beginning and after four weeks of treatment. The study status is currently unclear.

Study design

This is a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind study with 80 participants. This means participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the active tDCS or a sham (inactive) treatment, and neither you nor the researchers will know which one you are receiving.

What's involved

You would receive 10 treatment sessions of either active tDCS or sham tDCS, each lasting 20 minutes during occupational therapy. You will also have fMRI brain scans at the beginning and after four weeks.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your brain connectivity will be measured at baseline and again after 4 weeks.
