Ten sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation for chronic chikungunya arthralgia: study protocol for a randomised clinical trial.
BMJ Open
October 2022
Article Synopsis
- The chikungunya virus is causing a significant public health issue in Brazil, particularly in the Northeast region, where chronic pain affects over 60% of infected individuals for years.
- This study aims to test the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in reducing pain and improving muscle strength, functionality, and quality of life in those suffering from chronic arthralgia through a structured clinical trial.
- The trial involves 40 participants randomized to receive either active or sham tDCS treatment over 10 sessions, with evaluations at multiple intervals to track changes in pain levels and other health outcomes.
Clinical impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) alone for Parkinson's disease (PD) is still a challenge. Thus, there is a need to synthesize available results, analyze methodologically and statistically, and provide evidence to guide tDCS in PD. Investigate isolated tDCS effect in different brain areas and number of stimulated targets on PD motor symptoms.

Data Sources: MEDLINE (via PUBMED), SciELO, COCHRANE Library, Scopus, PEDro, Web of Science and EMBASE were used as search databases.
Study Selection: Two independent researchers searched these databases from inception until June 2020 using the descriptors "kinesiotaping", "kinesio taping", "kinesiotape", "tape", "taping", "kinesiology taping", "kinesiology tape", "kinesthetic taping" or "elastic therapeutic tape" associated with "knee osteoarthritis".
Background: Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is an ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, hypoleptinemia, and diabetes mellitus. Although cardiovascular disturbances have been observed in BSCL patients, there are no studies regarding the Respiratory Muscle Strength (RMS) in this type of lipodystrophy. This study aimed to evaluate RMS in BSCL subjects compared with healthy subjects.
