A study to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the vestibular organs that maintain the body's balance on the balance response, focusing on changes in brain activity and muscle activity.
Effects of Electrical Stimulation on Balance Ability
A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Influence of galvanic vestibular stimulation on the recovery response: Focusing on Changes in Brain Activity and Muscle Activity
A randomized controlled trial of galvanic vestibular stimulation
Japan |
The subjects of this study will be healthy adults without pre-existing vestibular organ damage or neurological disorders, and the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on the human recovery response will be investigated. Based on the effects generated in healthy adults, we expect to be able to apply this method to rehabilitation of stroke patients in the future.

It has been reported that galvanic vestibular stimulation can cause the body to tilt. Recently, this feature has been applied to the rehabilitation of verticality and spatial perception in stroke patients. The ability to sit balance in stroke survivors is also effective in predicting prognosis and is considered important. We could not find any reports on the use of galvanic vestibular stimulation for rehabilitation of sitting balance in stroke victims, or on changes in muscle activity and cerebral blood flow during body tilt induced by galvanic vestibular stimulation. Therefore, in this study, we decided to analyze muscle and brain activities during recovery exercise under galvanic vestibular electrical stimulation from an inclined plane in healthy subjects, in order to provide a basis for clinical application to stroke victims.
Efficacy
Exploratory
Explanatory
Not applicable
The participants will perform the righting reaction task under the condition of galvanic vestibular stimulation (intervention condition) and under the condition of no galvanic vestibular stimulation (sham condition).
The following items were measured for 1 minute during the standing righting reaction exercise in the intervention and sham conditions
Surface EMG: upper trapezius, paraspinal erector spinae, external oblique abdominal muscles, and rectus femoris
Cerebral blood flow: fNIRS

Treatment
Maneuver |
The group will be divided into two groups depending on which of two conditions is initiated: the condition in which galvanic vestibular stimulation is given during righting reaction (intervention condition) or the sham condition.
In the intervention condition, electrodes of a direct current electrical stimulator (tDCS) are attached to the bilateral mastoid processes and stimulated at 1.0 mA for 2 minutes during recovery.
Sham stimulation. 1.0 mA galvanic vestibular electrical stimulation during the starting 10 s when the righting reaction exercise was started to be performed, after which the stimulation was stopped.

Not applicable |
Male and Female
Healthy adults.
Right handed.
Exclude those with pre-existing vestibular or neurological disorders and those who cannot hold an sitting position for 30 minutes.
