“…Again, the end goal of the study was to research whether or not the anodal tDCS resulted in increased network connectivity as well as corticospinal excitability. Anodal tDCS allows for the depolarization of brain cells (Nunomura et al, 2020). Those who were tested with anodal tDCS were delivered 1 mA for approximately 20 minutes with a 30 seconds ramp up as well as a ramp down, whereas sham tDCS was given a 30-second ramp up to 1 mA followed by an immediate fall to 0 mA with no further electrical stimulation.…”

Two main causes of stroke in a person are recognized as an ischemic stroke or a hemorrhagic stroke. The former is caused by a blocked brain artery, whereas the latter is due to a bursting of a blood vessel (Mayo Clinic, n.d.). As it stands, there are currently a variety of treatments used on individuals who undergo a stroke. Many of these treatments consist of inducing a “rewiring” in the brain to reduce, and sometimes rid the individual of the effects of a stroke. This phenomenon is commonly recognized as neuroplasticity. In order to induce neuroplasticity, the treatments in question are typically rehabilitation activities. It is important to understand that a stroke causes damage to the brain due to interrupted blood flow. Through increasing neuroplasticity in one’s brain, it is possible to make cellular as well as neuronal connections in the parts of the brain damaged during the course of the stroke. In this paper, the treatments discussed will be evaluated on their efficiency, ease of access, and how well they achieve their purpose. These treatments represent 4 different facets of intervention: neuromodulatory therapy, physical therapy, conventional therapy, and language therapy.
