This trial is testing a precise type of brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) to help people regain arm function after a stroke. Researchers will use advanced computer imaging to target specific areas of your brain that control arm movement. The goal is to see if this stimulation can improve your arm strength and movement on the side of your body affected by stroke.
After a stroke, many people struggle to regain full use of their arms and hands. This trial is exploring whether carefully targeted brain stimulation could help the healthy part of the brain take over some of the functions lost in the stroke-damaged area.

You would visit the clinic four times over about 10 weeks, with at least 2 weeks between each visit. At each visit, you would receive one type of brain stimulation (or fake stimulation) for about 30 minutes, with the remaining time spent on setup and breaks—each visit lasts up to 3 hours. The researchers will use your brain imaging scans to create a personalized map and target the stimulation precisely to your brain.
