A randomized sham-controlled trial on the effects of dual-tDCS “during” physical therapy on lower limb performance in sub-acute stroke and a comparison to the previous study using a “before” stimulation protocol
ConclusionA single-session of dual-tDCS during PT induced no additional advantage on lower limb performance. The “before” group seemed to induce better acute effects; however, the benefits of the after-effects on motor learning for both stimulation protocols were probably not different.Trial registration Current randomized controlled trials was prospectively registered at the clinicaltrials.gov, registration number: NCT04051671. The date of registration was 09/08/2019.

Effect of core stabilization exercises in addition to conventional therapy in improving trunk mobility, function, ambulation and quality of life in stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThis study concluded that core stabilization training is better as compared to the conventional physical therapy treatment for improving trunk impairments, functional ambulation and quality of life among patients of stroke. The core stabilization training is also more effective in improving trunk mobility in sagittal plane. This study is registered in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials IRCT20210614051578N1 and was approved by the local research ethics committee of Riphah International University.
