Background: Using conventional tDCS over the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) we previously reported that it is possible to manipulate subjective visual vertical (SVV) and postural control. We also demonstrated high-definition (HD-tDCS) can achieve substantially greater cortical stimulation focality than tDCS. However, critical establish dose-response effects using well-defined protocols with relevance clinically meaningful applications. Objective: To present feasibility, safety, tolerability...

Pathologic tilt of subjective visual vertical (SVV) frequently has adverse functional consequences for patients with stroke and vestibular disorders. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) the supramarginal gyrus can produce a transitory on SVV in healthy subjects. However, effect direct current (tDCS) never been systematically studied. We investigated whether bilateral tDCS over temporal-parietal region could result both online offline misperception In randomized,...

Rehabilitation top-down techniques based on brain stimulation present variable outcomes in unilateral spatial neglect (USN) after stroke. This study aimed to examine the effects of physical therapy anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current (A-tDCS C-tDCS, respectively) improve visuospatial functional impairments individuals with USN stroke.This double-blinded, pilot randomized clinical trial enrolled patients ischemic Randomization was stratified according Behavior Inattention...

Few Brazilian studies investigated risk factors for dysphagia and associated complications in a large cohort. To investigate frequency, predictors, outcomes of patients up to three months post-stroke. Prospective cohort study consecutively admitted specialized center acute stroke. Patients with transient ischemic attack, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral venous thrombosis, hemorrhagic stroke secondary cause, non-acute stroke, or those who did not consent participate were excluded. Swallowing...

There is a high demand for stroke rehabilitation in the Brazilian public health system, but most studies that have addressed unilateral spatial neglect (USN) after been performed high-income countries. Therefore, aim of this study was to analyze USN patient recruitment multicenter noninvasive brain stimulation clinical trial Brazil and provide design recommendations future studies. We evaluated reasons exclusion patients from multicenter, randomized, double-blinded stroke. Clinical...

Objective: Converging evidence supporting an effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on postural control and human verticality perception highlights this strategy as promising for post-stroke rehabilitation. We have previously demonstrated polarity-dependent effects high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) weight-bearing asymmetry. However, there is no investigation regarding the time-course induced by HD-tDCS protocols. Thus, we performed a nonlinear time series analysis focusing...
