original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation preceding cognitive behavioural management for chronic low back pain: sham controlled double blinded randomised controlled trial
BMJ. 2015 Apr 16;350:h1640Exclusive Author Interview
Dr. Luedtke discusses the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation for chronic low back pain
135 patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (LBP) were randomized to undergo anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or sham tDCS, each with cognitive behavioural management (CBT). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of tDCS and CBT in patients with non-specific chronic LBP, and provide follow-up at 4, 12, and 24 weeks treatment. The findings from this study demonstrated no significant effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on pain or disability in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.
