초록
The aim of this study is to observe the effects of anodal tDCS applied over left prefrontal cortex on the chronic back pain, muscle strength and psychological fear. Thirty-three elderly aged 68 ± 6.27 years with chronic back pain participated. Participants were randomly assigned two group; Experimental group received 2-mA anodal current over left dlPFC with exercise for three days per week during 8 weeks while control group received sham current with exercise during the same period. Pain intensity, functional lift strength and fear-avoidance response of all the participants were evaluated. As a result, there were significant changes in pain intensity, muscle strength and activity-related fear toward the improvement (P < .05). In conclusion, the anodal tDCS on left prefrontal cortex would be effective to care the chronic pain of the elderly.
