Effect of tDCS on Brain Organization and Motor Recovery — ESTCORM  

Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Brain Organization and Motor Recovery After Stroke

Clinical Trial Summary

Neurological deficits and motor disorders are extremely common after stroke. Physical therapies can improve the autonomy of these patients, but despite an intensive stationary neurorehabilitation, severe deficits often persist. Complementary therapies that could improve recovery would therefore be very welcome. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) induces, in a non-invasive way, a transient inhibitory or excitatory neuromodulation of certain cerebral regions. An increasing number of studies show that this modulation of brain activity can improve motor functions in patients with brain lesions and increase the effect of physical therapies. However, the "optimum" configuration of tDCS and the induced effects remain to be characterized and investigated. The investigators therefore propose to carry out a study including a pilot phase in order to determine the most efficient tDCS setup. The optimum setup of of the pilot phase will be compared to a placebo condition in a multicentric main study.
