Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Reducing pain and recovery of strength and function are major challenges in physical therapy. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a novel intervention that has gained popularity in the rehabilitation of athletic injuries, pain management, and sports performance. Acute application of tDCS has been shown to modulate the perception of effort and fatigue, enhance motor learning, improve endurance performance, and improve muscular power and strength. tDCS has also been shown to reduce pain in patients with chronic pain conditions. Using a double-blind, randomized clinical trial design, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of tDCS plus standard rehabilitation compared to rehabilitation alone on pain, balance and proprioception, functional performance, and strength following acute ankle inversion sprain. We hypothesize that the group using tDCS will demonstrate superior outcomes in all variables of interest.
