Article Synopsis
- Primary orthostatic tremor (POT) causes a 13 to 18 Hz tremor in the legs when standing and is hard to treat; researchers explored trans-spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) as a non-invasive alternative to invasive treatments like spinal cord stimulation.
- In a study with 16 patients, they compared sham tsDCS to active tsDCS (cathodal or anodal) to evaluate changes in standing stability and tremor characteristics.
- Results showed that cathodal tsDCS significantly reduced tremor amplitude and frequency while improving stability, suggesting a promising new avenue for treating POT through potential multiple sessions of spinal stimulation.
