(Motor) cognitive deficits like apraxia significantly contribute to disability after stroke, harming activities of daily living and rehabilitation outcome. To date, efficient therapeutic options for apraxia remain sparse. Thus, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are warranted.MethodsBased on promising results of a pilot study, the on-going RAdiCS (Rehabilitating stroke-induced Apraxia with direct Current Stimulation) study is a randomized controlled trial, which follows a double-blinded (investigator and patient), two-arm parallel interventional model. It is designed to include 110 apraxic patients (as diagnosed by the Cologne Apraxia Screening, KAS) in the subacute phase after a left hemisphere (LH) stroke. The University of Cologne initiated the trial, which is conducted in two German Neurorehabilitation Centers.The study aims to evaluate the effect of anodal (versus sham) transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied over the left posterior parietal cortex (PPC) with an intensity of 2 mA for 10 min on five consecutive days on apraxic deficits. In addition to anodal or sham tDCS, all LH stroke patients undergo a motor (cognitive) training that is performed before and after the stimulation (off-line stimulation).The primary outcome measure is the (differential) change in the overall KAS score after five daily sessions of anodal versus sham tDCS when compared to the baseline assessment before tDCS. Secondary study outcomes include further apraxia scores, aphasia severity, and measures of motor performance and disability after stroke. All outcome measures are obtained in the post-stimulation assessment as well as during follow-up (3–4 months after tDCS). 000874449 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-572$$a572 - (Dys-)function and Plasticity (POF3-572)$$cPOF3-572$$fPOF III$$x0 000874449 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000874449 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)172703$$aRichter, Monika K.$$b1$$ufzj 000874449 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBecker, Ingrid$$b2 000874449 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131748$$aWeiss-Blankenhorn, Peter$$b3$$ufzj 000874449 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131720$$aFink, Gereon Rudolf$$b4$$eCorresponding author$$ufzj 000874449 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2947493-0$$a10.1186/s42466-020-0052-y$$gVol. 2, no. 1, p. 7$$n1$$p7$$tNeurological research and practice$$v2$$x2524-3489$$y2020 000874449 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/874449/files/Kleineberg_2020_NRP_Verum%20versus%20sham%20tDCS%20in%20the%20treatment%20of%20stroke-induced%20apraxia.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000874449 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/874449/files/Kleineberg_2020_NRP_Verum%20versus%20sham%20tDCS%20in%20the%20treatment%20of%20stroke-induced%20apraxia.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000874449 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:874449$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000874449 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)171203$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000874449 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)172703$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 000874449 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131748$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b3$$kFZJ 000874449 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131720$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b4$$kFZJ 000874449 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-572$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$v(Dys-)function and Plasticity$$x0 000874449 9141_ $$y2020 000874449 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000874449 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 000874449 920__ $$lyes 000874449 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406$$kINM-3$$lKognitive Neurowissenschaften$$x0 000874449 980__ $$ajournal 000874449 980__ $$aVDB 000874449 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000874449 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406 000874449 9801_ $$aFullTexts
