      abstract     = {Purpose of review: We here provide an update about studies
                      published recently in the field of noninvasive
                      neuromodulation of the motor system, aiming at facilitating
                      recovery of function after stroke.Recent findings: A number
                      of longitudinal studies have confirmed that repeated
                      stimulation of the motor cortex in combination with motor
                      training improves performance compared with control or sham
                      stimulation. In the early postacute stroke phase,
                      enhancement of ipsilesional motor cortex excitability by
                      means of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)
                      seems to be a well tolerated and effective strategy to
                      promote motor recovery. In contrast, recent studies suggest
                      that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the
                      early poststroke phase does not facilitate motor recovery.
                      In the chronic phase, however, both rTMS and tDCS have been
                      shown to be beneficial when applied over several days
                      combined with training. Interestingly, bihemispheric
                      stimulation strategies (ipsilesional activation and
                      contralesional suppression) seem to constitute effective
                      protocols, especially when using rTMS.Summary: Noninvasive
                      brain stimulation seems to support motor recovery. However,
                      to date randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that are
                      sufficiently powered are lacking. Data suggest that the most
                      promising protocols should now be tested in RCTs with
                      sufficiently large samples taking into account the clinical
                      heterogeneity of stroke.},
