Integrating tDCS into Routine Inpatient Rehabilitation Practice to Boost Post-stroke Recovery

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain modulation tool, has gained popularity due to the portability, ease-of-use, and low cost. A majority of stroke recovery studies using tDCS have been focused on the chronic stage of recovery, as this time frame is relatively easy to conduct clinical trials and measure efficacy. However, studies during the chronic stage likely miss a window of opportunity where dynamic brain plasticity is occurring, the acute and subacute stages after stroke.
