Protocol summary

Study aim
The therapeutic effect of tDCS combined with routine physiotherapy on the neurological and upper limb motor function in ischemic stroke patients with hemiplegia.
Design
In a randomized double-blind clinical trial, randomized with sealed envelope software, on 52 patients of ischemic stroke with hemiplegia, every group includes 26 individuals.
Settings and conduct
patients with hemiplegia who refer to physiotherapy department,are randomized in two groups of intervention(real transcranial stimulation plus physiotherapy) and control (Sham transcranial stimulation plus physiotherapy). Someone other than the patient and examiner adjusts the device to apply or not electrical stimulation, so the examiner and patient are unaware of the assignment of individuals in the sham and real tDCS groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: age:18-65 years, unilateral ischemic stroke in middle cerebral artery, paralyzed upper limb, time post-stroke from 2 weeks to 1 month, NIHSS than 20 Exclusion criteria: taking CNS-effective drugs except for TPA and medications used for stroke routine treatment. A history of prior stroke and other non-stroke neurological diseases, clinical instability, no compatibility with safety guidelines of tDCS
Intervention groups
'' intervention group'': real transcranial current stimulation plus routine physiotherapy, ''control group'' : Sham transcranial stimulation plus routine physiotherapy
Main outcome variables
motor function of upper limb based on MRC, stroke deficit severity based on NIHSS score

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The randomization is performed using sealed envelope software. The samples are assigned to 8 randomized blocks including two groups. Therapist randomly selects one block and based on it, the subject is assigned.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
During blinding, someone other than the patient and examiner adjusts the device to apply or not electrical stimulation, so the examiner and patient are unaware of the assignment of individuals in the sham and real tDCS groups, and only the person adjusting the device, is aware of this.
