A 3-day 'stroke camp' addressed chronic disease self-management elements and perceived stress of survivors of stroke and their caregivers reduced: Survey results from the 14 US camps
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke camp is a novel model that addresses CDSMP domains, which may reduce stress in PWS and CG. Larger, controlled studies are warranted.PMID:37004716 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2196468

Abstract #140: BDNF Genotype and tDCS Interaction in Aphasia Therapy
Introduction: Using a double blinded randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the extent to which brain stimulation (anodal transcranial direct current stimulation [A-tDCS]) applied during speech therapy, was a futile adjunctive intervention to improve speech production (naming) in individuals with chronic post-stroke aphasia. This futility design evaluated a null hypothesis of 'A-tDCS results in better treatment outcome than sham tDCS.'

Transcranial direct current stimulation to treat aphasia: Longitudinal analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Post-stroke aphasia is a pervasive language disorder that affects communication and quality of life. Behavioral aphasia therapy is currently standard of care; however, in the chronic phase of recovery (>6 months post stroke), gains are often minimal. A number of studies have suggested that active transcranial direct current stimulation (A-tDCS) may improve treatment outcomes when coupled with behavioral aphasia therapy. However, many of these studies included small sample sizes or only single cases.

BDNF Genotype and tDCS Interaction in Aphasia Treatment
ConclusionIndividuals with the val/val BDNF genotype are more likely to benefit from A-tDCS during aphasia treatment.
