High-definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Chlorella Pyrenoidosa to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk
60 patients around the world
Available in Brazil
This study is an open label research, clinical trial, double blind, placebo controlled, and
randomized, involving assistance to patients at risk of cardiovascular disease, in outpatient
care (Continue Caring Project). Included in the research are adults and elderly participants
at cardiovascular risk, whose initial diagnosis for hospitalization was due to COVID-19 and
at the hospital level those admitted for treatment in the Intensive Care Unit or ward with
heart disease who are eligible for neurostimulation by HD-tDCS. Patients will be randomly
allocated into an experimental and control group for HD-tDCS and also to receive the
functional food. The protocol will be HD-tDCS (lasting 20 minutes of 4x1 tDCS-HD) positioning
the central electrode in the left primary motor cortex (M1) with anodal stimulus, twice a
week; nutritional monitoring; collection of laboratory tests (at the beginning and end of
treatment) and the group that will receive the functional food will be provided with 10
tablets of Chlorella Pyrenoidosa (5g/day) containing 4mcg of B12, organic pressed into
tablets (Registration with ANVISA/MS : 6,7273,000) for five weeks.
