Effects of bihemispheric tDCS combined with radial nerve stimulation in acute stroke patients

Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may change the excitability of the central nervous system and contribute to motor recovery of patients with acute stroke. The functional benefit may increase with the combination of tDCS with manoeuvres facilitating motor output. We have evaluated the effects of tDCS coupled with radial nerve stimulation in the acute phase after stroke.
