Preliminary evidence is provided that sex may moderate tDCS response in post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation, with effects extending across ICF impairment and activity domains and suggests that sex-stratified designs may be necessary to detect tDCS efficacy in stroke rehabilitation.
This narrative review critically integrates evidence available through July 2026 for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, theta-burst stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and emerging approaches targeting the cerebellum, spinal sensorimotor pathways, and cellular metabolism.

Recovery was mainly driven by rTMS rather than lesion side or site, supporting its role in enhancing post-stroke recovery, with high-frequency rTMS being most effective, independent of lesion characteristics.

Intracortical excitability measures may serve as biomarkers for upper-limb recovery, especially during early-phase rehabilitation, supporting the interhemispheric competition hypothesis.

BACKGROUND AND AIM
There are limited clinical trial data examining sex differences in response to non-invasive brain stimulation interventions for language recovery in individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The primary aim of this analysis was to retrospectively assess sex differences in longitudinal language recovery a...

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), including repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), has been widely used as an adjunctive intervention for upper limb motor recovery after stroke; however, the treatment completion rates and comparative safety profiles...

NIBS, particularly magnetic stimulation, produced an average short-term motor benefit in PD, but marked heterogeneity and incomplete safety reporting limit certainty about effect size, durability, target superiority, and comparative safety.
