Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is showing increasing promise as an adjunct therapy in stroke rehabilitation. However questions still remain concerning its mechanisms of action, which currently limit its potential. Magnetic resonance (MR) techniques are increasingly being applied to understand the neural effects of tDCS. Here, we review the MR evidence supporting the use of tDCS to aid recovery after stroke and discuss the important open questions that remain.
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)作为中风康复的辅助治疗方法,正显示出越来越大的前景。然而,关于其作用机制仍存在疑问,这目前限制了其潜力。磁共振(MR)技术越来越多地被用于了解tDCS的神经效应。在此,我们综述支持使用tDCS促进中风后恢复的MR证据,并讨论仍然存在的重要未解决问题。
