Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in the Primary Motor Cortex in Healthy Individuals

NCT04148547 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main aim of this study is to assess the short-term effects of active-tDCS (a-tDCS) on the M1 regarding sensorimotor variables such as discriminative sensation, pressure pain threshold and electromyographic activity compared with a sham-tDCS (s-tDCS) in healthy individuals. The main objective was to determine whether there were clinically relevant changes generated by tDCS and if they were superior to a sham intervention.
