Does cathodal HD-tDCS-preconditioned iTBS over the contralesional dorsal premotor cortex improve upper limb motor function in patients with severe ischaemic stroke? A study protocol for a single-centre, participant-blinded and outcome assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial
Whether cathodal high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) preconditioning enhances the effects of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) over the cPMd on upper limb function in patients with severe ischaemic stroke is investigated.
