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 study is testing a treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which uses mild electrical currents applied to the scalp to stimulate the brain. Researchers want to see if tDCS, when combined with physical rehabilitation exercises, can help people recover better movement and strength in their arms and legs after a stroke or spinal cord injury. The study will test different numbers of tDCS sessions (1, 5, or 10) to find out which works best.
Many people who have had a stroke or spinal cord injury struggle to regain full movement and function, even with standard rehabilitation. This trial exists to see whether adding tDCS to regular physical therapy can improve recovery and help patients regain more independence.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, you will be assigned to one of several groups—some receiving tDCS combined with physical therapy, some receiving only physical therapy, and some serving as healthy comparison participants. Those receiving tDCS will have mild electrical stimulation applied to their scalp during or alongside standard rehabilitation exercises (such as guided movement patterns to improve arm and leg function). Your participation will last between 1 and 3 months, with regular rehabilitation sessions and assessment of your movement and strength.
