This study investigates tDCS-induced modulation of the corticospinal excitability and the underlying MOA. By anesthetizing the scalp before applying tDCS and by stimulating the cheeks, we investigated whether stimulation of peripheral and/or cranial nerves contributes to the effects of tDCS on corticospinal excitability.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><div>In a randomized cross-over study, four experimental conditions with anodal direct current stimulation were compared in 19 healthy volunteers: 1) tDCS over the motor cortex (tDCS-MI), 2) tDCS over the motor cortex with a locally applied topical anesthetic (TA) on the scalp (tDCS-MI + TA), 3) DCS over the cheek region (DCS-C), and 4) sham tDCS over the motor cortex(sham). tDCS was applied for 20 minutes at 1 mA. Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were measured before tDCS and immediately, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after tDCS. A questionnaire was used to assess the tolerability of tDCS.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A significant MEP amplitude increase compared with baseline was found 30 minutes after tDCS-MI, an effect still observed 60 minutes later; no time∗condition interaction effect was detected. In the other three conditions (tDCS-MI + TA, DCS-C, sham), no significant MEP modulation was found. The questionnaire indicated that side effects are significantly lower when the local anesthetic was applied before stimulation than in the other three conditions.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The significant MEP amplitude increase observed from 30 minutes on after tDCS-MI supports the modulatory effect of tDCS on corticospinal neurotransmission. This effect lasted one hour after stimulation. The absence of a significant modulation when a local anesthetic was applied suggests that effects of tDCS are not solely established through direct cortical stimulation but that stimulation of peripheral and/or cranial nerves also might contribute to tDCS-induced modulation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19152,"journal":{"name":"Neuromodulation","volume":"28 1","pages":"Pages 68-75"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141327711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All observations of stimulation amplitudes, frequencies, waveforms, and electrode configurations were examined. The incidence of adverse events and relatedness to stimulation parameters is reported. A comparison of parameter usage across the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS) subgroups was conducted to evaluate stimulation strategies across participants with varying degrees of sensorimotor preservation.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Active (cathodal) electrodes were typically placed between the C3/C4 and C6/C7 spinous processes. Most sessions featured return (anodal) electrodes positioned bilaterally over the anterior superior iliac spine, although clavicular placement was frequently used by 12 participants. Stimulation was delivered with a 10-kHz carrier frequency and typically a 30-Hz burst frequency. Biphasic waveforms were used in 83% of sessions. Average stimulation amplitudes were higher for biphasic waveforms. The AIS B subgroup required significantly higher amplitudes than did the AIS C and D subgroups. Device-related adverse events were infrequent, and not correlated with specific waveforms or amplitudes. Within the home setting, participants maintained their current amplitudes within 1% of the preset values. The suggested stimulation programming framework dictates the following hierarchical order of parameter adjustments: current amplitude, waveform type, active/return electrode positioning, and burst frequency, guided by clinical observations as required.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>This analysis summarizes effective stimulation parameters from the trials and provides a decision-making framework for clinical implementation of tSCS for upper extremity functional restoration after SCI. The parameters are aligned with existing literature and proved safe and well tolerated by participants.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19152,"journal":{"name":"Neuromodulation","volume":"28 1","pages":"Pages 162-173"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141492762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
