Integrating Non‐Invasive Brain Stimulation With Post‐Stroke Rehabilitation: A Systematized Review of Synergistic Neuroplasticity Based Interventions

Overall, the findings indicate that NIBS is most effective when functioning as a cortical "primer" during intensive, task-specific physiotherapy, with benefits influenced by stroke chronicity, behavioral context, and stimulation parameters. Future studies should prioritize standardized protocols, mechanistic biomarkers, and stratified trial designs to optimize clinical translation.

Abstract

Overall, the findings indicate that NIBS is most effective when functioning as a cortical "primer" during intensive, task-specific physiotherapy, with benefits influenced by stroke chronicity, behavioral context, and stimulation parameters. Future studies should prioritize standardized protocols, mechanistic biomarkers, and stratified trial designs to optimize clinical translation.
