Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for sleep disturbances and fatigue in patients with post-polio syndrome.

Purpose: Post-polio syndrome develops about 20-40 years after acute paralytic poliomyelitis, and manifests with progressively deteriorating muscle strength and endurance. Here, we assessed whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) improves sleep and fatigue symptoms in patients with post-polio syndrome.

Methods: We enrolled 32 patients with a diagnosis of post-polio syndrome.
