Neural signature of tDCS, tPCS and their combination: Comparing the effects on neural plasticity

Abstract: Transcranial pulsed current stimulation (tPCS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are two noninvasive neuromodulatory brain stimulation techniques whose effects on human brain and behavior have been studied individually. In the present study we aimed to quantify the effects of tDCS and tPCS, individually and in combination, on cortical activity, sensitivity and pain-related assessments in healthy individuals in order to understand their neurophysiological mechanisms and potential applications i… Show more

“…Recent studies show the effects of varying intensity and random frequency ranges of stimulation on neural effects (Chen, Lin, Chen, & Fregni, ; Chen et al., ; Morales‐Quezada, Saavedra, Rozisky, Hadlington, & Fregni, ; Morales‐Quezada et al., ). In the sham procedure, the device setup remained unchanged, and excepted active stimulation was only applied for the first and last 30 s. We have successfully used this method in our other studies using pulsed peripheral stimulation with similar intensities (Thibaut et al., ; Vasquez, Thibaut, Morales‐Quezada, Leite, & Fregni, ; Vasquez et al., ). Labuschagne Foundation (Luzerne, Switzerland) provided the MNS stimulation devices.…”
