Abstract

Introduction: MS is a neurodegenerative, autoimmune disease associated with significant symptom burden such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, motor dysfunction, and depression. Thus, there is a need for therapeutic options for accessible symptom management. tDCS is an emerging neuromodulation treatment that delivers low amperage direct current (≈2 mA) to targeted brain regions through scalp electrodes. tDCS is thought to lower the neuronal threshold required for action potentials and is often used to augment the benefit achieved through repetitive stimulation. Recent studies have demonstrated that at-home, remotely supervised tDCS (RS-tDCS) sessions can are successful in reducing fatigue in MS, studies have yet to elucidate the longevity of symptom benefit.
