Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive method that utilizes electrical stimulation in the scalp, leading to better motor rehabilitation. Thus, this method could be a valuable auxiliary therapeutic tool for maintaining strength in patients with several neurological disorders. This study assesses: 1) the #safety of tDCS, and 2) the effectiveness of tDCS on the ability to produce positive muscle strength in a patient with stable dermatomyositis (DM). #Dermatomyositis is a systemic autoimmune myopathy characterized clinically by cutaneous and muscle inflammations. The findings indicate that tDCS is safe and appears to influence long-term strength in the limb of the patient with stable dermatomyositis. #Neuromodulation
