UMIN-CTR Clinical Trial

Basic information
Official scientific title of the study	Development of the new rehabilitation approach for equilibrium function combined by transcranial direct current stimulation over the cerebllum
Title of the study (Brief title)	the rehabilitation for equilibrium function combined by tDCS
Region	Japan

Condition
Condition	Equilibrium dysfunction
Classification by specialty	Rehabilitation medicine Adult
Classification by malignancy	Others
Genomic information	NO

Objectives
Narrative objectives1	Rehabilitation for the equilibrium dysfunction is effective. The previous studies have been reported it by meta-analysis. However, on the other hand, although the relief of symptoms is obtained by the rehabilitation, about 30% of the patients continue to show the equilibrium dysfunction such as dizziness. In addition, remission is not obtained at all in 2% of the patients. For these patients, we need new techniques to enhance the effect of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation effects is brought by the motor learning in the cerebellum that enhance the new cerebellar vestibular nerve pathway or existing neural pathways. In the present study, we investigate whether rehabilitation for equilibrium dysfunction combined by tDCS over the cerebellum would be more effective compared to the rehabilitation alone.
