PMID 40538416WHAT IT FOUND
No results are available.
This paper outlines the plan for a future trial testing tDCS and balance exercises in blind children, but no patients were treated and no outcomes were measured.
What this paper is
This is a study protocol for a randomized clinical trial that has not yet been conducted or reported results. It describes the planned methodology for testing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with proprioceptive exercises in visually impaired children, but it contains no data, outcomes, or findings to report. There is nothing here to change clinical practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not assume this treatment is proven or safe for use in practice. This document only describes what researchers intend to do in a future study; it reports no evidence that tDCS combined with proprioceptive exercises improves gait or balance in children with visual impairment.
