Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation that can improve the limb's motor function by remote modifications in the central motor system. Bilateral Arm training (BAT) involves use of the affected arm which is in association with the unaffected arm that initiate interlimb coupling, which mitigates interhemispheric inhibition and in turn helps improving affected limb function. The current paper presents the protocol for conducting research into the efficacy of Transcranial Direct current stimulation and Bilateral Arm Training on neurological upper limb impairments. A single blind randomized clinical trial will be conducted involving Transcranial Direct current stimulation and Bilateral Arm Training on 20 individuals with neurological upper limb impairments. The group A intervention consists of Bihemispheric stimulation of 1 mA for 20 minutes while group B will receive Bilateral arm training along with convention therapy in both the groups for a total duration of 50 minutes. Participants of the assigned group will receive 10 sessions of treatment over 2 weeks. Outcomes used will be subjective Pre and post-treatment assessments will be done using Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) and Fugyl Meyer assessment-upper extremity (FMA-UE).
