N2 - The non-invasive current stimulation protocol differs significantly between the brain and spinal cord, such that when comparing the two, there is a clear predominance of protocols using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the brain and of protocols using pulsed stimulation for the spinal cord (psSC). These protocols differ in their effects on the central nervous system and in such important parameters as stimulation intensity. In most cases, tDCS has a fixed amplitude for all subjects/patients, while psSC is usually chosen on a case-by-case basis, according to the thresholds of muscle responses. In our opinion, it is possible to use the experience of identifying thresholds during psSC to adjust the dose of the direct current for transcranial and transspinal electrical stimulation, an approach that may provide more homogeneous tDCS data.
