Osteoarthritis: Epidemiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial degenerative joint disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. This graphical abstract summarizes the epidemiology, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic approaches of OA. OA development is driven by aging, metabolic dysregulation, and mechanical stress, leading to progressive joint degeneration ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation as a novel approach to the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain

open access: yes, 2012
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a widespread but poorly understood condition that places a substantial burden on the sufferer, health ...

Epilepsy: Epidemiology, Molecular Pathogenesis, and Clinical Management

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
Epilepsy is a heterogeneous and chronically evolving brain network disorder. This review integrates epidemiological burden, psychiatric comorbidities, and cyclic seizure patterns with multiscale pathogenic mechanisms, including ion‐channel dysfunction, synaptic transmission defects, neuroinflammation, metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, and ...

Modulating implicit task sequence learning and consolidation with prefrontal cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

open access: yes, 2016
The purpose of this study was to influence implicit task sequence learning with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Previous results showed that patients with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) lesions do not show implicit task sequence ...

The time course of ineffective sham blinding during low-intensity (1mA) transcranial direct current stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Studies using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) typically compare an active protocol relative to a shorter sham (placebo) protocol. Both protocols are presumed to be perceptually identical on the scalp, and thus represent an effective method

rTMS Over Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Augments Dual‐Task Training for Mobility, Balance and Cognition in Sub‐Acute Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesPhysiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effects of adding repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with dual‐task (DT) exercise on DT mobility, balance and cognitive performance in individuals with sub‐acute stroke. Methods Thirty sub‐acute stroke patients [age, mean (SD) = 59.2 (7.9) years] were randomly

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

open access: yesSupplements to Clinical neurophysiology, 2004
tDCS appears to be a promising tool in neuroplasticity research with some tentative perspectives in clinical neurophysiology. The next steps to be carried out encompass better histological safety data. In order to preclude the possibility of neuronal damage, extending tDCS duration should be limited until more direct safety criteria are available than ...
