An interventional study of Transcranical direct current stimulator and Visual inattention training in Stroke, sponsored by Pusan National University. Status unknown at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-07-22.

The primary objective of this study is to confirm and compare the effect of methods of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) in the unilateral neglect of stroke patients
Total 105 patients were recruited and randomized to receive either real or sham-tDCS. Real experimental groups were divided into two types; Pre-tDCS group and Simultaneous tDCS group. Two groups are again divided into three groups; Dual stimulation group, Unilateral stimulation group and Sham control group, respectively.
In Pre-tDCS group, total a sessions of the tDCS stimulation was done for each three subgroups and visual inattention training was followed after that. In Simultaneous tDCS group, tDCS and visual inattention training was done simultaneously. For each subgroups, tDCS was attached at following locations; unilateral cathodal tDCS on unaffected PPC(postparietal cortex), P3 , dual cathodal tDCS on P3 and anodal tDCS on affected PPC, P4.
The patients were initially evaluated at baseline, immediately, 60min, 120min, 24 hrs after the training session.
7,286 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,007 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 105 is above the median of 50 across 5,369 interventional studies indexed under Stroke.

Exclusion criteria
In Pre-tDCS group, total sessions of the transcranical direct current stimulator stimulation(tDCS) was done for each three subgroups and visual inattention training was followed after that. Patient had 2 times of tDCS for 13 minutes with 20minutes of resting interval. After that, additional 2 times of Visual inattention training was done with same protocol.
