Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether benefits of training the affected hand in patients with stroke can be improved by combining training with a painless, noninvasive technique called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS). TDCS will be applied over the part of the brain responsible for movements of the affected hand. Also, the investigators will study the changes in the brain that favor recovery of hand function following combination of training and tDCS.

Primary Outcome

To address the functional advantage of combining tDCS and CIMT tests that evaluate impairments of the hand will be utilized. Also, change in ability to carry out activities of daily living will be measured.

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT)
  • PROCEDURE Sham tDCS: placebo noninvasive brain stimulation
  • PROCEDURE tDCS: noninvasive brain stimulation
