Eyelid Myokymia in an Older Subject After Repetitive Sessions of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques have developed into useful tools to study brain functions, like motor learning , physiological changes of the brain like during healthy aging or pathological conditions (e.g., stroke, parkinson, tinnitus, among others) . Furthermore they are more and more applied and evaluated as therapeutic tools to treat neuropsychiatric diseases . The evolution of these techniques emphasizes the importance to report possible adverse effects. Here, we present a case with occurrence of monocular eyelid myokymia after repetitive application of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the motor cortex.
