Abstract: Neurological illnesses, in particular, stroke, are a major cause of ailment and health risk around the world and often leave people with long-term disability. Stroke survivors often face problems with moving, thinking, and their mental health, which significantly reduces their quality of life. In the past, physical, occupational, and speech therapy were the main types of therapy used in rehabilitation for stroke. These methods use the brain’s innate plasticity, i.e., its ability to reorganize and adapt after an injury, to bring back lost functions. Previous assessments of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) for rehabilitation after a stroke have frequently failed in terms of clinical outcomes, long-term effectiveness, and/or with reintegration. Thus, it is imperative to review the therapeutic effectiveness, feasibility, and technological progress in BCI-based rehabilitation. This review focuses on recent trends in BCI stroke rehabilitation as well as BCI hybridization, recognizing the effect of emotions and stroke feedback on emotional status change. The review also focuses on clinical issues, existing constraints, and future possibilities related to improving motor and cognitive results. This study focuses on clinical applications, current stroke treatment issues, and new developments.
