Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with chronic stroke (>6 months after stroke) having unilateral upper limb hemiparesis will be recruited. Patients will maintain their usual inpatient rehabilitation including occupational therapy. At baseline (T0) and after 2weeks of enrollment (T1), Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) will be assessed at each time. And patients with the changes of FMA between T0 and T1 less than 3 points will be finally recruited. The enrolled patients will receive additional 30-min cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the contralesional motor cortex for 10 consecutive weekdays, with maintaining their usual conventional rehabilitation. At T1 and immediately after 10-seessions of tDCS (T2) and 1 month after completing 10-tDCS session (T3), FMA, Actional Research Arm Test (ARAT), Box and Block Test (BBT) and electroencephalography (EEG) were measured.
