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.
