Overview

This study aims to evaluate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive behavioural programme on fatigue and its related outcomes among people with stroke.

Description

This study will adopt a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized into one of the 3 groups. One group will receive transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive behavioural programme with home-based physical training. Another group will receive sham transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive behavioural programme with home-based physical training. One group will receive home-based physical training only.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • diagnosed with stroke at least 6 months ago
  • Fatigue Assessment Scale score ≥20
  • cognitively intact

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unstable medical conditions leading to fatigue
  • Under any clinical trials
  • with any other neurological diseases
  • history of transient ischemic attack
  • Contraindications to tDCS

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
