Motor cortex Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) improves acute stroke visuo-spatial neglect: A series of four case reports

Visuospatial neglect remains a relatively misunderstood complication of stroke. Up to 72% of right hemispheric strokes present neglect symptoms, and up to 75% of those patients still suffer at the 3-month mark [1]. This leads to marked increases in dependency, and lower functional outcomes [2].
