The present preliminary study aims to evaluate the effects of tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) on functional recovery in subacute stroke patients and on neurodegeneration, measuring Neurofilament light chain (NfL) in blood.~It will evaluate:~baseline NfL levels in patients with subacute stroke;~the correlation between motor recovery and the blood concentration of NfL in subjects treated with tDCS compared to the control group.~the effect of tDCS on motor recovery and NfL levels in the 3 months after the stroke event;
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation) can influence the secondary neurodegeneration observed after a stroke (assessed based on serum concentration of neurofilaments) and can improve the functional outcome.
