Brain Stimulation Enhance Post-stroke Walking Survivors and Healthy Adults (NCT06191549)

Effect of Brain Stimulation on Locomotor Skill Acquisition in Stroke

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Recent studies showed that a non-invasive, low-intensity brain stimulation called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can effectively increase motor neuron excitability in the brain and therefore promotes functional recovery after stroke. Thus, the overall purpose of this research project is to examine the effect of brain stimulation on motor skill learning in stroke survivors.
