Research progress in application of transcranial direct current stimulation in rehabilitation of post-stroke sensory disorder

Abstract

Stroke is a common neurological disease. Post-stroke sensory disorder is one of the common complications of stroke， which has severe negative impact on motor function and activity participation of patients. Transcranial direct current stimulation （tDCS）， a technique that uses 1 to 2 mA of direct current to modulate the cerebral cortex， is non-invasive， safe and well tolerated by patients. This study elaborates on the theoretical basis and mechanism of action of tDCS in treating post-stroke sensory disturbances， and analyzes and summarizes the application of tDCS in post-stroke sensory disturbances， confirming the effectiveness of tDCS， providing strong support for further clinical research of tDCS in the field of post-stroke rehabilitation.
