Evaluation of Autonomic Modulation in Stroke After Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Treadmill Training

NCT02956096 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Summary

Introduction: Patients post-stroke may have autonomic dysfunction, with increased blood pressure, heart rate (HR) and increased risk of sudden death. Studies have shown that transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate the autonomic nervous system in healthy subjects, but little is known about these effects in stroke.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of tDCS after treadmill training in the autonomic nervous system modulation in patients post-stroke.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

The active tDCS and placebo will be applied to anode electrode on left temporal cortex placed on the scalp in the region T3. The cathode electrode on the middle deltoid muscle contralateral to the anode.

DEVICE

training on the running belt

The running in the treadmill will be held on a single training session and the speed of the cardiopulmonary exercise testing and slope from 60 to 80% of the maximum achieved in cardiopulmonary testing, in order that the patient reaches 60% to 70% of the heart rate reserve.
