This paper describes the plan for a future trial of brain stimulation added to ACL rehab.
It contains no data, no results, and no findings. It does not tell us whether the treatment works.
What this paper is
This is a study protocol for a planned randomized controlled trial testing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with rehabilitation for ACL reconstruction in elite athletes. It details the planned methods, outcome measures, and analysis strategy, but reports no participants, no results, and no findings. There is nothing here to change your practice on.
