HD-tDCS to enhance behavioral treatment for aphasia: A feasibility study

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) enhances treatment outcomes post-stroke. Effects depend largely on which cortical areas are targeted. Feasibility and tolerability of high-definition (HD) tDCS, a technique that is thought to increase current focality and intensity, for consecutive weekdays as an adjunct to behavioral treatment in a clinical population has not been demonstrated.
