Brief Summary: Introduction Patients post-stroke may have autonomic dysfunction with increased blood pressure heart rate HR and increased risk of sudden death Studies have shown that transcranial direct-current stimulation tDCS can modulate the autonomic nervous system in healthy subjects but little is known about these effects in stroke

Objective To evaluate the effect of tDCS after treadmill training in the autonomic nervous system modulation in patients post-stroke
Detailed Description: Introduction Patients post-stroke may have autonomic dysfunction with increased blood pressure heart rate HR and increased risk of sudden death Studies have shown that transcranial direct-current stimulation tDCS can modulate the autonomic nervous system in healthy subjects but little is known about these effects in stroke

Objective To evaluate the effect of tDCS after treadmill training in the autonomic nervous system modulation in patients post-stroke

Methods Clinical study crossover controlled randomized double-blind individuals with hemiparesis after stroke adults Patients will undergo a spirometric evaluation Harbor protocol modified with constant speed determined by the individual and the incline of the treadmill with incremented 25 every 2 minutes The next day will begin with one of the two randomized protocols one week interval between them 1 tDCS active and treadmill 2 tDCS placebo and treadmill Each protocol will last 40 minutes 20min of tDCS over 20min mat They will be evaluated heart rate variability HRV and blood pressure variability VPA before a minute for the protocols and in the recovery phase for 15 minutes 2mA current intensity the anode electrode over the left temporal cortex and cathode on the contralateral deltoid muscle Considering the neurophysiological effects of noninvasive techniques neuromodulators plasticity before the modulation of the autonomic nervous system it is concluded that this study shows potential for the discovery of a new therapeutic tool in the rehabilitation of patients with stroke and hypertension The hypothesis is that increasing the excitability of the left insular cortex a modulation of the autonomic nervous system in controlling the variability in systolic blood pressure and heart rate is possible in conjunction with aerobic training can provide greater hemodynamic effectiveness and decrease the time training It is also understood that the study may have impact on the reduction of public costs spent on the rehabilitation of patients with stroke
