Summary

This study aims to analyze the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) is beneficial for the treatment of post-stroke fatigue.

Detailed description

A single-blind randomized clinical trial will be conducted. The intervention will consist of 8 20-minute tDCS sessions conducted over four weeks. The stimulation will be performed by applying the stimulation to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on the left side (F3) and the cathode will be at point O2 of the right hemisphere. The study will consist of two groups: the control group in which sham stimulation will be applied and therapeutic education and aerobic exercise; the intervention group in which stimulation, therapeutic education and therapeutic exercise will be carried out.
