Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive function in stroke patients

The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2018
Background Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and can cause disability with major impacts on quality of life and independence. Transcranial direct current stimulation may represent a promising tool for reconstitution of cognitive functions in ...

THE TRANSCRANIAL STIMULATION WITH DIRECT CURRENTS (TDCS): AN HISTORICAL AND CONCEPTUAL MINIREVIEW [PDF]

Acta Medica Mediterranea, 2018
<p>Transcranial Stimulation with Direct Currents (tDCS) is a method for non invasive brain stimulation created to induce func- tional changes in cerebral cortex. tDCS consists of application on the scalp of electrodes providing a low intensity direct current influencing neuronal functions.

Basic science of tDCS

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
Neuroplasticity, and functional connectivity are important physiological derivates of cognition, and behaviour. Recently introduced non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are suited to induce, and modulate respective physiological alterations.

A double-blinded randomised controlled trial exploring the effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation and uni-lateral robot therapy for the impaired upper limb in sub-acute and chronic stroke [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND:Neurorehabilitation technologies such as robot therapy (RT) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can promote upper limb (UL) motor recovery after stroke.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for fatigue in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

NeuroRehabilitation, 2014
Background: The debilitating fatigue that patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) commonly experience during day-to-day living activities responds poorly to current therapeutic options. Direct currents (DC) delivered through the scalp (transcranial DC stimulation or tDCS) at weak intensities induce changes in motor cortical excitability that persist for ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation of the frontal eye fields during pro- and antisaccade tasks [PDF]

, 2012
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been successfully applied to cortical areas such as the motor cortex and visual cortex. In the present study, we examined whether tDCS can reach and selectively modulate the excitability of the frontal ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) – Application in neuropsychology

Neuropsychologia, 2015
Non-invasive brain stimulation is a versatile tool to modulate psychological processes via alterations of brain activity, and excitability. It is applied to explore the physiological basis of cognition and behavior, as well as to reduce clinical symptoms in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Neuromodulatory brain stimulation via transcranial direct

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for idiopathic Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, with the severity of the disability usually increasing with disease duration. IPD affects patients' health-related quality of life, disability, and impairment. Current rehabilitation approaches have limited effectiveness in improving outcomes in patients with IPD, but a possible ...

Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex [PDF]

, 2004
Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy
