About
Xiaojing Xu is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation, with a focus on non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for stroke recovery. Her work centers on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a method that modulates brain states through weak electrical currents applied to the cortex. Xu’s major contribution lies in investigating how anodal stimulation of the ipsilesional primary motor cortex (M1) can enhance motor recovery in stroke patients. Her most-cited paper, a 2024 study protocol for a randomised controlled trial on priming tDCS to improve hemiparetic upper limb function in subacute stroke, has already garnered 3 citations, reflecting its timely relevance. This work outlines a rigorous methodology to optimize tDCS timing and dosage, addressing a critical gap in clinical translation. Xu’s research bridges fundamental neuroscience and practical rehabilitation, offering hope for millions of stroke survivors. Her protocol’s emphasis on evidence-based design underscores her commitment to advancing therapeutic standards. For students and researchers, Xu exemplifies how targeted, hypothesis-driven studies can pave the way for innovative treatments in neurorehabilitation.
