IRCT20160424027562N8 IRCT 2019-01-25 Semnan University of Medical Sciences Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in chronic stroke patients Comparison of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the lower limb function with and without Step exercise in chronic stroke patients 2019-01-26 anticipated 30 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/36158 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Block randomization is done. Since the therapeutic method is three models, for the four-block blocks, twenty-four different modes are created and based on the random numbers generated by the computer, the blocks are placed. Allocation concealment will be performed by using random seals enclosed envelopes, Blinding description: Participants will be blind in this study. In spite of explaining to patients about the intervention adequately, they will not be aware of being in which group. N/A Stroke. Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: Direct current stimulation is delivered 2 milliamperes for 20 minutes on the brain motor cortex in one session. An active electrode is positioned over the primary motor cortex of the affected side and a returning electrode is located over the contralateral supraorbital area. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: Step exercise will be performed with the unaffected foot placed on a step and the affected foot placed at ground level and subjects will do sit to stand task in this position for 30 minutes after this exercise direct current stimulation is delivered 2 milliamperes for 20 minutes on the brain motor cortex. An active electrode is positioned over the primary motor cortex of the affected side and a returning electrode is located over the contralateral supraorbital area. Intervention 3: Control group: Direct current stimulation is delivered for 20 minutes on the brain motor cortex as a placebo, and subjects perceived sensations on the skin, such as tingling, fade usually out in the first 30 seconds of direct current. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is There is no more information
