tDCS as Treatment for Motor Function

NCT07291687 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2025-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Previous preliminary results are sufficiently impressive to suggest that tDCS stimulation does have the potential to improve motor function when that ability is trained during stimulation. In the proposed study, the investigation will assess whether walking sessions combined with tDCS lead to improvements in motor function: gait, articulation, eye gaze, and motor dexterity. In addition, the investigators wish to examine if such results can be replicated in people with other conditions, such as cortical basal syndrome, and Parkinson's disease.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS)

The Crossover design will enable us to use each participant as their own control.

DEVICE

Stimulation Arm

Participants will be exposed to the brain stimulation protocol while undergoing certain motor task during the training sessions.
