Brief Summary:
This study is investigating the immediate and long-term effects of bilateral cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation on cognition balance and symptom severity in people with sports-related post-concussion syndrome The central hypothesis is that tDCS will provide improvements in cognitive deficits balance and overall symptom attenuation in people with SRPCS both acutely and at 2 and 4 week follow ups The researchers further hypothesize that cerebellar tDCS will ameliorate the symptoms of people with SRPCS
Detailed Description:
The long term goal is to develop an effective and broadly applicable treatment modality for athletes who develop SPRCS The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of multiple 5 consecutive daily sessions of 2 milliampere mA right cerebellar tDCS on cognitive deficits balance and overall attenuation of symptoms on people with SRPCS Cognitive deficits will be assessed with the N-back Working Memory test list sorting test and dimensional change card test Balance deficits will be assessed with the Berg Balance Scale and Standing Balance Test SBT and symptoms will be assessed via the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptom Questionnaire RPQ The cognitive and balance tasks are taken from the NIH motor toolbox and have been shown to be the most important for health and success in school and work and the RPQ is one of the most widely used SRPCS evaluation tools The central hypothesis is that tDCS will provide improvements in cognitive deficits balance and overall symptom attenuation in people with SRPCS both acutely and at 2 and 4 week follow ups The researchers further hypothesize that cerebellar tDCS will ameliorate the symptoms of people with SRPCS The rationale is that the results will improve the quality of life of these patients and may prevent impairment of cognitive function later in life
