Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive procedure that uses mild electrical currents applied to the scalp to help reduce muscle stiffness after stroke. Researchers believe this treatment may help reorganize the brain's motor control areas and reduce the involuntary muscle tightness that often develops after a stroke, potentially improving your ability to move and perform daily activities.
Muscle stiffness (spasticity) affects about 40% of stroke survivors and can severely limit movement, increase pain, and reduce quality of life. This trial exists to test whether this non-invasive brain stimulation technique can effectively reduce spasticity and help restore better motor function.

You would receive transcranial direct current stimulation sessions, where electrodes are placed on your scalp to deliver mild electrical stimulation to the brain areas that control movement. The treatment is non-invasive and painless. You would likely attend multiple sessions over a period of time, and your muscle stiffness and movement would be measured before, during, and after treatment to see if the stimulation helps reduce your spasticity.
