Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose is to determine whether application of a non-invasive battery powered device called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve recovery of hand weakness after stroke beyond what is achievable with rehabilitative treatment alone.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • •ischemic stroke causing arm weakness within 5-15 days
  • •no other neurological or psychiatric disease, who are able to perform study tasks

Exclusion Criteria

  • •patients younger than 18 or older than 80 years
  • •patients with more than one disabling stroke
  • •Patients with bilateral motor impairment
  • •Patients with poor motivational capacity, history of severe alcohol or drug abuse
  • •Patients with severe language disturbances, particularly of receptive nature
  • •Patients with serious cognitive deficits (defined as equivalent to a MMS score of 23 or less)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer

Time Frame: 1 year after stroke

Motor outcome measure for the upper extremity. Scores vary between 0-66, higher values mean better performance.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Wolf Motor Function Test(3 months)
