Impact of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Fatigability and Fatigue Induced by a Selective Attention Task

NCT02840214 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2017-07-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This research project is focusing on changes in mental fatigue due to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in healthy individuals. The study aim is to see if mental fatigue can be rescued by administering a safe dose of tDCS. tDCS has been shown to decrease fatigue in healthy individuals experiencing extended wakefulness, and the investigators aim to investigate if similar results can be found in a fatigue inducing task. This is a single-blind randomized control trial that will compare mental fatigue between tDCS treatment and sham treatment groups through both subjective and objective measures. Objective fatigue will be measured by reaction time with the Stroop test and subjective fatigue will be measured by the multidimensional fatigue inventory questionnaire.
