Clinical Trial Summary

This study will examine the possible effects of tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) treatment to the left DLPFC on executive functions in patients with an acute stroke affecting the frontal lobe or the basal ganglia. The study will include 40 acute stroke subjects. Participants will undergo a global cognitive assessment with the MoCA test and a specific assessment of executive functions with the abbreviated Wisconsin test, the five digit test and the digit span evaluation (a subtest from the Wechsler intelligence scale for adults-IV). Participants will then undergo real or sham stimulation with anodal tDCS combined with cognitive training of the main executive functions: working memory, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility. After a 10-session intervention, a the baseline cognitive assessment will be repeated and subsequently, a follow-up of up to 12 months will be carried out.
