Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Associated With Neurofunctional Rehabilitation in Individuals With Spinocerebellar Ataxias

Sponsor: Federal University of Health Science of Porto Alegre

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of . Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with neurofunctional rehabilitation on disease severity in individuals with neurodegenerative ataxias. The study will compare whether the Neurofunctional Rehabilitation Protocol combined with real tDCS will bring better results in reducing disease severity compared to the neurofunctional rehabilitation protocol combined with simulated tDCS.

OTHER

Neurofunctional Rehabilitation

Neurofunctional Rehabilitation Protocol will consist of balance, motor coordination and gait exercises for 40 minutes and associated with tdcs

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation

Transcranial direct current stimulation will be applied for 20 minutes at an intensity of 2 mA. The anode will be placed on the scalp over the cerebellar area (2 cm below the inion); the cathode, in turn, will be placed on the spinal column in the lumbar enlargement (2 cm below T11)
