Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized Single Blind Sham Controlled Trial of Adjunctive Home-Based tDCS after rTMS for Mal De Debarquement Syndrome: Safety, Efficacy, and Participant Satisfaction Assessment.
Mal de debarquement syndrome is a medically refractory disorder characterized by chronic rocking dizziness that occurs after exposure to passive motion. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can acutely suppress the rocking dizziness but treatment options that extend the benefit of rTMS are needed. ⋯ Home-based tDCS can be performed safely and may be beneficial in selected individuals. Adequate teaching, automatic device safety features, and a good communications infrastructure are components of successful home therapy.
