Physiological and Functional Effects of Percutaneous Neuromodulation vs Transcutaneous Neuromodulation

Patients will receive a needle circuit approaching the deep peroneal nerve in an echoguided manner. They will receive a symmetrical biphasic current of 20-30Hz and 250 μs at tolerable intensity.

Patients will have a superficial electrode circuit placed over the belly of the tibialis anterior muscle. They will receive a symmetrical biphasic current of 20-30Hz and 250 μs at tolerable intensity.

Patients will have the neuromodulation circuit placed with needles at 0 intensity, approaching the deep peroneal nerve in an ultrasound-guided manner.

patients will have the electrodes placed over the tibialis anterior muscle at intensity 0.

Study participants who wish to continue may be randomized to receive a 10-session intervention program. The intervention to be received will consist of 10 sessions of percutaneous neuromodulation or 10 sessions of transcutaneous neuromodulation, two sessions per week.
