Effects of tDCS on People With Fibromyalgia

People with fibromyalgia could experience physical and cognitive impairment as well as higher dual-task cost than healthy people when two tasks are performed simultaneously. Transcranial direct current stimulation is a promising non-pharmacological therapy. However, there is insufficient evidence about the intensities dose-response. Therefore, this protocol aims to 1) to compare the effectiveness and the impact of two tDCS intensities (1mA and 2mA) on cognitive, motor, brain functions, and cardiac autonomic modulation; 2) to study the impact of tDCS on the dual-task performance and creativity after applying tDCS in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. As hypotheses, a reduction of cognitive-motor interference in dual-task performance and also a modification in neurophysiological parameters, and an improvement in cardiac autonomic modulation are expected. Finally, no different effects are obtained depending on the intensity applied.
