AI-based Customized tDCS for Finger Motor Recovery After Subacute Stroke
South Korea116 participantsStarted 2026-04-30
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical study is to evaluate whether AI-based customized transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) using MR images is more effective than sham stimulation in improving finger motor function in patients with finger paralysis caused by subacute stroke. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does AI-based customized tDCS improve finger motor function compared with sham stimulation?
* What medical problems or adverse events occur when participants receive AI-based customized tDCS?
Researchers will compare AI-based customized tDCS with sham stimulation (a look-alike stimulation that delivers no electrical current) to determine whether the intervention improves finger motor recovery in patients with subacute stroke.
