Abstract

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability due to various impairments such as motor weakness, visuospatial neglect, aphasia, dysphagia, cognitive decline, spasticity, depression, and central pain. Although functional improvement from these impairments is important to reduce the burdens of stroke survivors, the effects of conventional rehabilitation approaches are still modest and the novel therapeutic approaches are being needed. TDCS could be applied as an adjuvant therapy for rehabilitation in stroke patients as it can potentially facilitate motor, cognitive, and language recovery after stroke, by providing the methods to modulate brain activity or plasticity in a specific region at the network level. Therefore, TDCS is currently under active investigation in the stroke rehabilitation field. In this chapter, the clinical application of TDCS in the field of stroke rehabilitation is discussed.
