Summary

Long-term sequelae in TBI is a well-recognized burn. We designed a proof of concept study, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled to evaluate 36 adult TBI patients. To evaluate the early and late effects of 10 days of 20 minutes applying transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), bilateral temporal cortex (CTB) and compare to sham stimulation, and online cognitive training. We expect that the active group will differ from the sham group, showing larger effect sizes in the cognitive assessment.
