The immediate effect of anodal tDCS over the motor cortex on postural control and cortical activation in patients with chronic low back pain: A preliminary study
The improvement in postural control of patients with CLBP following anodal M1-tDCS, accompanied by reduced cortical activation and functional connectivity, suggests enhanced neural efficiency (more efficient neural processing) and reduced compensatory demands within sensorimotor networks.
