This study presents a novel transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocol combined with cognitive stimulation to address post-stroke hemispatial neglect. Initial data from a pilot patient ensure the procedure's feasibility and suggest potential efficacy, providing a foundation for a future parallel, triple-blind, controlled clinical trial.
