Background: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the intervention effect of this personalized HD-tDCS has not been explored on post-stroke motor recovery. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether targeting individual motor hotspot with HD-tDCS followed by EMG-driven robotic hand training could further facilitate the upper extremity motor function for chronic stroke survivors.

Non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), has been shown to increase the outcome of speech and language therapy (SLT) in chronic aphasia. Only a few studies have investigated the effect of add-on tDCS on SLT in the early stage of aphasia; this may be due to methodological reasons, in particular the influence of spontaneous remission and the difficulty of establishing stimulation protocols in clinical routines. Thirty-seven participants with subacute aphasia (PwA) after stroke (23 men, 14 women; mean age 62 ± 12 years; mean duration 49 ± 28 days) were included in two consecutive periods of treatment lasting two weeks each.

Background: There is a limited number of studies from India investigating the role of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This clinic-based study reports on the effectiveness of tDCS as an add-on treatment in individuals suffering from TRD.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-six right-handed individuals suffering from major depressive disorder who failed to respond to adequate trials of at least two antidepressant drugs in the current episode received tDCS as an augmenting treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation method that shows promise in helping individuals with schizophrenia manage auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH).
- Traditional in-clinic tDCS requires frequent visits due to its short-lived effects, but home-based tDCS could provide a more accessible solution if safety and standardization measures are implemented.
- A case study demonstrated successful administration of tDCS at home with proper caregiver training and a standard operating procedure (SOP), leading to sustained improvements in AVH over ten days without adverse effects.
