INTRODUCTION: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique with therapeutic potential, especially in respiratory muscle training (RMT) in pathological conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and heart failure.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of bilateral cathodic tDCS on respiratory muscle strength and endurance in healthy young and elderly women.
METHODS: An experimental, randomized study with 80 participants divided into young and old women, subdivided into intervention and sham control groups. The participants were evaluated by spirometry and dynamic muscle strength tests before and after the one session intervention. tDCS was applied with cathode electrodes positioned bilaterally in the motor area.
RESULTS: The elderly women in the intervention group showed significant improvement in dynamic inspiratory muscle strength (S-Index) and dominant hand strength, with moderate to large effect sizes. The young women showed a significant increase only in the strength of the dominant hand, with no improvement in inspiratory muscle strength. There were no significant differences in ventilatory parameters, including Maximal Ventilatory Capacity, in any of the age groups.
CONCLUSION: Bilateral cathodic tDCS was effective in increasing dynamic inspiratory muscle strength and dominant hand strength in elderly women, with more pronounced effects compared to young women. The technique did not produce significant changes in maximal ventilatory capacity in any of the age groups, suggesting that the response to tDCS may vary with age, being more beneficial in elderly women.
