The main aim of this study is to assess the short-term effects of active-tDCS (a-tDCS) on the M1 regarding sensorimotor variables such as discriminative sensation, pressure pain threshold and electromyographic activity compared with a sham-tDCS (s-tDCS) in healthy individuals. The main objective was to determine whether there were clinically relevant changes generated by tDCS and if they were superior to a sham intervention.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure pain threshold through an algometer | Pressure pain threshold has been defined as the minimal amount of pressure at which a sense of pressure first changes to pain or discomfort | Change in pressure pain threshold immediately at the end of the intervention |
| Tactile acuity threshold | Tactile acuity threshold is an important variable to know the somatosensory state and Von Frey monofilaments and Aesthesiometer were used | Change in tactile acuity threshold immediately at the end of the intervention |
| Muscle recruitment through electromyographic activity | The activity of surface electromyography (sEMG) during an isometric maximal voluntary contraction was measured in the biceps brachii and rectus femoris. | Change in electromyographic activity immediately at the end of the intervention |

| Placebo Sooma transcranial direct current stimulation device | Device | This group received sham brain training through transcranial direct current for 20 minutes. The current is active for 15 seconds and then switches off until the intervention is finished. |
