New! Alpha transcranial alternating current stimulation as add-on to neglect training: a randomized trial

Visuospatial neglect is a common and debilitating condition following unilateral stroke, significantly impacting cognitive functioning and daily life. There is an urgent need for effective treatments that can provide clinically relevant and sustained benefits. Multi-session transcranial alternating current stimulation combined with visual scanning training may be a more effective treatment for chronic visuospatial neglect than visual scanningtraining alone. These findings provide valuable insights into novel strategies for stroke recovery, even long after the injury, with the aim of enhancing cognitive rehabilitation outcomes and improving the overall quality of life for individuals affected by this condition.
