This review of the literature focuses on the role of cortical stimulation in cognitive rehabilitation for stroke patients, examining the underlying mechanisms, innovative therapeutic protocols, and clinical trial data. Cortical stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have been shown to enhance neuroplasticity by modulating cortical excitability, facilitating recovery of both motor and cognitive functions. The review explores how these stimulation techniques, when integrated with rehabilitation strategies like virtual reality and task-specific training, can accelerate cognitive recovery. The studies reviewed provide evidence that cortical stimulation can promote memory, attention, and problem-solving improvements in stroke survivors, particularly when applied during the critical window of heightened neuroplasticity post-stroke. Clinical trials have demonstrated positive outcomes, but further research is necessary to optimize treatment protocols, personalize interventions, and validate long-term effects. Overall, cortical stimulation is positioned as a promising adjunctive therapy for improving cognitive outcomes in stroke rehabilitation.
