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

Introduction The contralesional dorsal premotor cortex (cPMd) is a potential target for motor recovery in severe stroke. However, interindividual heterogeneity and the limited efficacy of standalone repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may restrict its clinical benefit. This study aims to investigate whether ca...
