Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation ASsociated With Physical-therapy In Acute Stroke Patients - the tDCS ASAP - a Randomized, Triple Blind, Sham-controlled Study
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation has been increasing in popularity in the last few years. Despite vast amounts of articles on the use of tDCS on stroke patients, very little has been done during the acute phase.

The application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with traditional physical therapy to address upper limb function in chronic stroke: A case study
Stroke recovery happens through neuroplasticity, which is highly influenced by environment, including neuro-rehabilitation. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may enhance recovery by modulating neuroplasticity. With tDCS, weak direct currents are applied noninvasively to modify excitability in the cortical areas under its electrodes. Combined with functional activities, this may facilitate motor recovery in neurologic disorders such as stroke.

Promoting motor recovery in patients with stroke enhancing cerebellar cortical plasticity: a randomized double blinded controlled repetitive TMS trial
Introduction: The cerebellum is known to be strongly implicated in the functional reorganization of motor networks in stroke patients. In animal models of stroke it has been shown that stimulation of cerebellar-cortical networks plays a major role for motor recovery. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used to enhance adaptive processes and prevent those potentially maladaptive in stroke recovery. In this randomized, double blind, sham-controlled trial we investigated the efficacy of cerebellar intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) coupled with intensive physical therapy (PT) in promoting funct...
