Study name Modulating connectivity with non‐invasive brain stimulation during spatial neglect rehabilitation
Methods RCT
Participants
  • 30 to 80 years of age

  • Subacute stroke (stroke occurred more than 2 weeks and less than 6 months ago; first or recurrent, ischaemic or intracerebral haemorrhagic lesion)

  • Diagnosed visuospatial neglect and/or spatial neglect symptoms (left sided or right sided) on the basis of clinical judgement (i.e. by the cooperating clinical (neuro)psychologist)

  • Sufficient comprehension and communication skills to benefit from training (based on clinical judgement)

Interventions We will combine evidence‐based visual scanning training with 40 minutes of (active or sham) dual‐site tACS at theta (6 Hz) and gamma (80 Hz) frequencies. The intervention is administered 5 times a week for a duration of 2 weeks
Outcomes Primary outcome: performance on digitalised Star Cancellation Test
Secondary outcomes

  • Performance on Line Bisection Task

  • Performance on Baking Tray Task
