Evaluating the effects of tDCS in stroke patients using functional outcomes: a systematic review

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been extensively studied over the past 20 years to promote functional motor recovery after stroke. However, tDCS clinical relevance still needs to be determined. The present systematic review aims to determine whether tDCS applied to the primary motor cortex (M1) in stroke patients can have a positive effect on functional motor outcomes.Two databases (Medline & Scopus) were searched for...
