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 whether transcranial direct current stimulation—a gentle, non-invasive way to stimulate the brain—combined with cognitive behavioral therapy (counseling focused on thoughts and behaviors) and home exercise can help reduce the severe fatigue many people experience after a stroke. Some participants will receive the real brain stimulation, some will receive a placebo (fake) stimulation, and some will do exercise alone. The goal is to see which approach works best.
Fatigue is one of the most common and disabling problems after stroke, yet there are few effective treatments for it. This trial is exploring whether combining brain stimulation with counseling and exercise might help patients recover more energy and improve their quality of life.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: one receiving real brain stimulation plus counseling and home exercises, one receiving fake brain stimulation plus counseling and home exercises, or one doing home exercises alone. You will likely attend sessions for the brain stimulation and counseling, and be asked to do physical training at home. The study involves 75 participants total, and your commitment would include regular visits and follow-up assessments to measure changes in your fatigue levels.
