Trial name or title	Not stated by the authors
Methods	Study design: randomised double‐blind sham‐controlled trial (parallel‐group design)
Participants	Estimated enrolment: 20 patients within the first month of a cortical or subcortical stroke
Interventions	2 arms A‐tDCS + rEPNS of the radial nerve of the paretic side at 5 consecutive daily sessions Sham tDCS + rEPNS of the radial nerve of the paretic side at 5 consecutive daily sessions
Outcomes	Motor performance as measured by JTT at baseline, after the intervention period and at 5, 15 and 30 days of follow‐up Cortical excitability at baseline
Starting date	Not stated by the authors
Contact information	None known
