Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a novel brain stimulation technique which has kindled hope in alleviating motor, language as well as cognitive deficits in neuronal injury. Current case report describes application of tDCS in two phases using two different protocols in a patient with hypoxic injury. In the first phase anodal stimulation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex improved the language fluency. Subsequently, after 6 months second phase application of anodal stimulation over posterior parietal region targeted arithmetic and working memory deficits. Individualising the treatment protocols of brain stimulation, based on the lesion and the functional deficits, for neuro-rehabilitation is emphasised.
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)是一种新型的脑刺激技术,它为减轻神经元损伤后的运动、语言以及认知缺陷带来了希望。当前的病例报告描述了在一名缺氧性脑损伤患者中分两个阶段使用两种不同方案进行经颅直流电刺激的应用情况。在第一阶段,对背外侧前额叶皮层进行阳极刺激改善了语言流畅性。随后,6个月后在第二阶段,对顶叶后部区域进行阳极刺激,针对算术和工作记忆缺陷。强调了基于损伤和功能缺陷为神经康复制定个性化脑刺激治疗方案。
