U.S., Nov. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07917702) titled 'Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Manual Therapy on Musculoskeletal Pain in Adolescent Dancers' on Oct. 31.
Brief Summary: Adolescent dancers are at high risk of musculoskeletal pain due to repetitive, high-intensity training. Persistent pain may lead to kinesiophobia (fear of movement), which can further impair physical function according to the fear-avoidance model. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used as a top-down intervention for musculoskeletal pain; however, it remains unclear whether its analgesic effect results from true neural stimulation or from contextual factors such as treatm...
