Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Chronic Daily Headaches: An Experimental Single Case Report with a Novel Protocol.
Chronic daily headaches are often refractory to prescribed or non-prescribed medications. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a new technological-based intervention with various modes of applicability. Therefore, we aimed to study the effectiveness of tDCS in an individual with symptoms of chronic daily headaches and the associated comorbidities like depression, anxiety, stress, and RLS or sleepiness, numbness, a sensation of fullness, or ringing in the ears. Based on DASS-21 and Epworth questionnaires, headache diary, and semi-structured interviews, we used repeated measures for assessing the symptoms such as frequency, duration, intensity, or severity of chronic daily headaches and associated comorbidities at baseline, after tDCS-intervention, and at a 12-month follow-up. The results showed that tDCS-intervention reduced the frequency, duration, intensity, or severity of chronic daily headaches and associated symptoms after tDCS-intervention and at a 12-month follow-up.
期刊介绍：
This new peer-reviewed online-only journal publishes original case reports covering the entire spectrum of neurology. Clinicians and researchers are given a tool to disseminate their personal experience to a wider public as well as to review interesting cases encountered by colleagues all over the world. To complement the contributions supplementary material is welcomed. The reports are searchable according to the key words supplied by the authors; it will thus be possible to search across the entire growing collection of case reports with universally used terms, further facilitating the retrieval of specific information. Following the open access principle, the entire contents can be retrieved at no charge, guaranteeing easy access to this valuable source of anecdotal information at all times.
