The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation and inhibitory control training on depression and anxiety among post-stroke individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent research has highlighted the role of fronto-parietal brain networks and cognitive control in mood disorders. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and computer-based cognitive training are used in post-stroke rehabilitation. This study examined the combined effects ofof computer-based inhibitory control training (ICCT) and anodal tDCS on post-stroke depression and anxiety.

Methods

Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: active tDCS treatment (A), sham tDCS treatment with ICCT (T), or active tDCS with ICCT (AT), for a duration of ten days. Primary outcome measures included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S/T). Statisti
