Home Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to Enhance Functional Recovery

"Participants will receive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) via the Soterix device at an intensity of 2 mA for 20 minutes per session, with slow ramp-up and ramp-down of the current.~Each participant will be asked to perform tDCS on weekdays for two-weeks (10 sessions total) or every other weekday for four weeks (12 sessions). The research team will decide on a number of therapy sessions depending on the patient's baseline condition and tolerance. Patients who receive 10 sessions of therapy over two weeks will have 4 weeks of washout. Patients who receive 12 sessions over four weeks will have 8 weeks of washout."

Participants will be instructed to perform home activity based cognitive-linguistic task-based exercises. Each participant will be asked to perform tDCS concurrently with individualized activity based cognitive-linguistic therapy on weekdays for two-weeks (10 sessions total) or every other weekday for four weeks (12 sessions)

Participants will receive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in person, via the same Soterix device the home based participants will use at an intensity of 2 mA for 20 minutes per session, with slow ramp-up and ramp-down of the current. They will undergo 12 sessions over four weeks.
