“…The pain neuromodulation of these electrotherapeutic resources occurs through different nerve pathways, because while PES generates electrical impulses by means of transcutaneous electrodes that will promote the depolarization of sensitive peripheral nerves (Albrecht, Goulart & Weis, 2015), tDCS uses electrical stimuli that cross the skull, with the intention of modulating the action of brain neurons (Luedtke, Rushton, Wright, Juergens, Mueller & May, 2011). Some studies have pointed out the efficacy of PES for the reduction of acute (Simpson, Fouche, Thomas & Bendall, 2013;Santana, Gallo, Ferreira, Duarte, Quintana & Marcolin, 2016) and chronic pain (Gibson, Wand, Meads, Catley & O'Connell, 2019), as well as tDCS in different types of pain in healthy individuals (Csifcsak, et al 2009;Bachmann, et al 2010), and in clinical conditions involving chronic pain (Baptista, et al 2019;Silva, et al 2019).…”
