IRCT20171031037124N2 IRCT 2020-04-04 Tabriz University of Medical Sciences The effect of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Light Therapy (tLT) on the balance status transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) transcranial Light Therapy (tLT) A Comparative Study on the effect of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Light Therapy (tLT) on the balance status of older adults 2020-04-03 anticipated 45 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/42613 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Samples were selected by available method and assigned to study groups using randomized block design with volume 3. At the design stage of the study, it is not possible to control for confounding variables in the blocking method, but at the data analysis stage, the effect of potential confounders (such as the presence or absence of history of receiving different balance exercises in the intervention and sham groups due to being older). The person and the likelihood of receiving previous interventions (such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy in cases such as knee osteoarthritis) will be adjusted. The random sequence is generated using RAS software. N/A Balance and attention. Intervention 1: Intervention Group 1 (tDCS): In this study, induction of 1 mA direct current with a density between 0.029 and 0.08 for twenty minutes over five consecutive sessions on the primary motor cortex (M1) was used. This region was identified by the International EEG System 10-20 and the anode was considered as the active pole. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2 (tLT): At this stage, the light is transmitted continuously by the NIR wave projector, with a specific wavelength of 850 nm, with a power of 260 mW / cm2 and an energy density of 4 J / cm2 over the desired regions. Intervention 3: Control group: This group of seniors will receive both tDCS and tLT interventions. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is No more information

Timepoint: Measurement of balance and attention status at the beginning of the study, after the intervention and one week after the intervention. Method of measurement: One leg stand test (Stork) as a static balance task and TUG as a dynamic balance test. PGNG attentional test to check attentional.
