Abstract

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of central nervous system in which the myelin of the central nervous system is damaged and transmission of nerve messages by the brain to the muscles is disrupted. One of the most common areas that are affected in MS is the Cerebellum. Disorders in this structure lead to ataxia and imbalance. Recent studies have shown that Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is the application of weak electrical currents (1-2 mA) to modulate the activity of neurons in the brain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) on Postural control in MS patients. Materials and Methods: The study samples were 20 women with MS (30 to 40 years) that were randomly assigned into two groups of real stimulation and sham stimulation. Patients received sham or real anodal tDCS of cerebellar along with balance exercises for 20 minutes … . . in the cerebellar region for 5 consecutive days. To evaluate the Postural control, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Time up and Go (TUG) were used. The evaluation was conducted at baseline and immediately after the ctDCS and one month after the completion of the intervention. Results: Repeated-measures ANOVA was used for the intragroup and intergroup analyses. P<0. 05 was considered statistically significant. The results show the improvement of Berg Balance Scale and Time up and Go scores in the intervention group. Conclusion: The results show that maybe tDCS of the cerebellar improves Postural control in MS patients. However further studies are required to be performed in the future for more certainty in this regard.
