Effect of high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation among late-subacute and chronic stroke survivors with fatigue : A randomized-controlled crossover trial protocol

© 2024 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V..

Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a commonly overlooked symptom that impacts daily functioning and quality of life. It is caused by altered functional connectivity within the brain networks, which can potentially be influenced by neuromodulation. Multiple cortical regions have been targeted to reduce PSF, but the most efficient ones remain uncertain. Therefore, we aim to identify the most appropriate cortical stimulation site to reduce PSF. Twenty participants with PSF will be included in this cross-over trial. Each participant will receive one session of active anodal high definition- transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) over three different cortical areas and one session of sham tDCS in a cross-over manner, with a two-week of washout period in between. Pre- and post- fatigue will be assessed using Fatigue Severity Scale and fatigability using electromyography by determining the time to task failure. Resting-state electroencephalography will be performed before and after each stimulation session to determine the functional connectivity of the cortical areas stimulated.
