REVIEW
Rodolfo Borges Parreira, Claudia Santos Oliveira
BACKGROUND: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) seems to facilitate and/or inhibit neural activity and improve motor function in neurological patients. However, it is important to confirm such improvements as well as determine the association between neurophysiological changes and the enhancement of motor control. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does the improvement of motor control in neurological patients after transcranial direct current stimulation translate into changes in the motor evoked potential? METHODS: A systematic electronic search strategy was employed to identify studies indexed in the PubMed, BIREME, and COCHRANE databases using a combination of search terms adapted to each database: transcranial direct current stimulation; evoked potential motor; and motor control...
