Abstract

We have conducted vestibular rehabilitation with tcDCS (Transcranial cerebellar direct current stimulation). The patients received a program of vestibular rehabilitation. The tcDCS was applied over the cerebellum for 20 minutes with 2 mA of electrical intensity during vestibular rehabilitation for 5 consecutive days. The patients kept doing the program three times a day for a month after that. The subjective and objective evaluations were conducted. No adverse effect was recorded. After the treatment. the improvements were observed. The possible benefit of vestibular rehabilitation with tcDCS was confirmed. Further studies should be required to confirm the effect of this treatment.
