Article Synopsis
- Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a therapeutic technique shown to influence brain activity but its effects on respiratory performance are less studied.
- This randomized trial involved 80 female participants, split into young and elderly groups, to evaluate the impact of tDCS on lung function and muscle strength.
- The study aims to explore how tDCS affects respiratory muscle strength and endurance, potentially paving the way for future research in healthy individuals and rehabilitation contexts.
