1 天前 · Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise as a neuromodulatory intervention in various neurological disorders, but its application in ALS, particularly in a remote, home-based format, remains underexplored. This study investigates the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of remotely supervised tele-tDCS in ALS patients.

1 天前 · The tele-tDCS devices were preprogrammed to ensure the blinding of the assessor, trainer, and participant. The intervention group received 72 sessions of tele-tDCS, while the delayed-start group received 36 sessions of sham-tDCS, followed by 36 sessions of tele-tDCS. We conducted six evaluations to monitor changes in disease progression over ...

2019年1月31日 · This review will discuss the current evidence supporting the feasibility of tele-tDCS paradigms and their therapeutic potential, with particular emphasis on the implications for patients with Parkinson’s disease.

We present a study exploring the safety and feasibility of a 24-week tele-tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) protocol as a complementary treatment. tDCS involves applying weak electric currents to the brain to modulate neural excitability, showing promise in improving motor behavior in various neurological disorders.

The disposable single-use tDCS platform (as discreet as adhesive bandages) is activated simply by placement on the scalp. A prescribed tDCS discharge is regulated by a flexible 3D electrochemical architecture, tailored to each application by a novel operational theory.

Despite the ever-increasing amount of research, tDCS has not yet been widely accepted into rehabilitation centres as part of neurological treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the beliefs of therapists (and rehabilitation students) on tDCS, and the main reasons that therapists involved with patients do not want to use it in ...

Interpretation: Tele-tDCS was feasible, safe, and well-tolerated in individuals with ALS. Preliminary efficacy results suggest that tele-tDCS may slow disease progression, underscoring the potential of tele-tDCS as a promising home-based neuromodula-tory intervention in ALS management. Trial Registration: Clinical trial registration: NCT04866771

2019年1月31日 · Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a modality of non-invasive brain stimulation involving the application of low amplitude direct current via surface electrodes on the scalp. tDCS has been studied in healthy populations and in multiple brain disorders and has the potential to be a treatment for several neuropsychiatric conditions ...

2022年2月10日 · This review will discuss the current evidence supporting the feasibility of tele-tDCS paradigms and their therapeutic potential, with particular emphasis on the implications for patients with ...

2020年5月1日 · Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a method of noninvasive neuromodulation and potential therapeutic tool to improve functioning and relieve symptoms across a range of central and peripheral nervous system conditions.
