Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Transcranial Direct Current and Muscle Fatigue Stimulation on Muscle Fatigue

Sponsor: University of Nevada, Las Vegas

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can impact muscle fatigue. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does tDCS of the left DLPFC increase the time that a fatiguing contraction can be maintained? 2. Does tDCS of the left DLPFC decrease the rate of increase of muscle activity, force error, and standard deviation of force during a fatiguing contraction. Researchers will compare tDCS of the left DLPFC to a SHAM stimulation (a type of stimulation that feels like real tDCS but does not elicit physiological effects) to see if tDCS of the left DLPFC works to reduce the progression of muscle fatigue. Participants will: Performing two experimental sessions held 3-10 days apart (usually 7 days) Perform a 9 hole pegboard test, maximum voluntary contractions, and a fatiguing contraction.
