Brief Summary
Chronic spinal pain is a multifaceted condition frequently characterized by an absence of discernible structural causes, manifesting in symptoms such as significant disability and diminished quality of life. Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2 (PSPS-T2) represents a common variant, implicating both peripheral and central nervous system mechanisms. This study investigates the synergistic effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in conjunction with motor control exercises on PSPS-T2 patients who have not responded to conventional treatments. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare an experimental group (tDCS + exercise) with a control group (exercise only), with the objective of enhancing functionality, alleviating pain levels, and improving psychological well-being. The findings may contribute to the development of more effective, patient-centered treatment strategies.
