Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory and disabling disease of the Cnetral Nervous System characterized by relapsing and / or progressive somatosensory, motor and vestibular clinical manifestations. Moreover, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairment are also present in most MS patients. These symptoms substantially impact quality of life and often show limited response to conventional pharmacological treatment.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique that applies a weak direct current to the scalp via surface electrodes, modulating cortical excitability in a polarity-dependent manner.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tDCS for fatigue, depression, anxiety, and cognitive performance in patients with relapsing or progressive MS.
