Study Summary

In this study the investigators aim to investigate the effects of two different types of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques -- repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on motor function in stroke. This is a cross-over study where subjects will receive 5 sessions of stimulation (each separated by 1 week) -- with either active tDCS and sham rTMS, sham tDCS and active rTMS or both sham tDCS and rTMS.

Primary Outcome

We will measure cortical excitability using single- and paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) before and after each stimulation session. We will compare the measurements from before stimulation to after stimulation, in each scheduled session, as this study is measuring the effects of a single session of tDCS/rTMS.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
  • DEVICE Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
