Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project investigates the impact of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (TsDCS) on functional capacity and muscle activation in healthy individuals aged 18 to 50. Participants will undergo one familiarization session followed by three experimental sessions where their fatigability and motor function will be assessed. The study aims to explore how a weak electrical current applied to the neck or thoracic area influences fatigue levels and muscle performance.
