Summary

We propose to enhance the effects of brain plasticity using a powerful noninvasive technique for brain modulation consisting of navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) priming with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in combination with motor-training-like constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT).

Conditions

• Stroke
• Stroke, Acute
• Motor Function

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)	Subjects will either undergo (1) active low-frequency rTMS (1Hz continuous) prime with anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on the affected side combine with Constraint induced movement therapy. Each session will last 20 minutes.
DEVICE	Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS	Subjects will either undergo sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on the affected side combine with Constraint-induced movement therapy.
