Noninvasive Brain Stimulation Training to Help Recover Brain-related Symptoms
Non-invasive cerebral stimulation techniques have shown potential in the treatment of neurological disorders such as chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, neglect, aphasia, memory, engine deficit and epilepsy In general, non-invasive cerebral stimulation techniques have been shown to be able to induce changes in cortical plasticity that may last even beyond the end of the stimulation period. Considering this potential, there is growing interest in the application of these therapeutic techniques. Hypotheses Based on these assumptions, the underlying hypothesis behind this project is that the therapeutic use of cranial - electrical or magnetic stimulation - can aid the recovery of various brain injury symptoms. Specific objectives This study aims to provide preliminary data about the benefits of using cortical stimulation to recover various brain injury symptoms. This will be made possible thanks to the specific skills of a multidisciplinary team of neurologists and physiatrists, healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, speech therapists and the support of a biomedical engineer. These professional figures are already available at the UCK Neurosurgery of the IRCCS Neuromed directed by the proposer and actively collaborate to optimize the therapeutic exercise of patients with neurological damage.
