Safety and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation in addition to constraint-induced movement therapy for post-stroke motor recovery (TRANSPORT2): a phase 2, multicentre, randomised, sham-controlled triple-blind trial.
Journal Article Lancet Neurol · May 2025 BACKGROUND: Motor impairments contribute substantially to long-term disability following stroke. Studies of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), combined with various rehabilitation therapies, have shown promising results in reducing motor impai ...

Journal Article Transl Stroke Res · December 2023 Near-infrared laser therapy, a special form of transcranial light therapy, has been tested as an acute stroke therapy in three large clinical trials. While the NEST trials failed to show the efficacy of light therapy in human stroke patients, there are man ...

Journal Article Med Phys · January 2023 BACKGROUND: Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) has gained considerable attention as a promising noninvasive neuromodulatory technique for human brains. However, the complex morphology of the skull hinders scholars from precisely predictin ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
