Motor cortex Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) improves acute stroke visuo-spatial neglect: A series of four case reports

Visuospatial neglect remains a relatively misunderstood complication of stroke. Up to 72% of right hemispheric strokes present neglect symptoms, and up to 75% of those patients still suffer at the 3-month mark. This leads to marked increases in dependency, and lower functional outcomes.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a new rehabilitation tool that has been gaining popularity in the last two decades. Current research focuses on subacute or chronic strokes, while stimulating the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), and seems to have positive effects on visuospatial neglect.
