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 anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (anodal tDCS) — a non-invasive technique that uses weak electrical currents to stimulate the brain — to help people recover arm strength and movement after a stroke. The treatment is applied to the healthy side of the brain to help improve function in the weak arm. Researchers want to find out whether this treatment is safe, practical, and effective for people in the early weeks after a stroke.
Many stroke survivors are left with severe arm weakness that greatly affects their quality of life and independence. Current recovery options are limited, so researchers are exploring whether brain stimulation can boost the brain's natural ability to rewire itself and restore arm function.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to receive either real brain stimulation or a sham (placebo) stimulation as an inpatient in the hospital. The treatment involves placing electrodes on your scalp — it is painless and non-invasive. You will receive multiple sessions over a period of time while you are recovering in the hospital, and researchers will monitor your arm strength and overall recovery throughout your participation.
