This study aims to evaluate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive behavioural programme on fatigue and its related outcomes among people with stroke.
This study will adopt a randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized into one of the 3 groups. One group will receive transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive behavioural programme with home-based physical training. Another group will receive sham transcranial direct current stimulation and cognitive behavioural programme with home-based physical training. One group will receive home-based physical training only.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Started Oct 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 26 months after the start.
Of 3,108 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 26 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,252 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.
