Breast cancer surgeries remain the cornerstone of treatment for early-stage disease. Nonetheless, a substantial proportion of patients experience moderate-

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by demyelination within the central nervous system, resulting in fatigue, pain, cognitive dysfunction, and motor impairment. Remotely supervised transcranial direct current stimulation (RS‑tDCS) is a noninvasive, low-cost, home-based intervention that modulates neuronal excitability and enhances neural network function, potentially benefiting individuals with MS. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of RS‑tDCS in MS. Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating RS‑tDCS in MS. The primary outcome was information‑processing speed. Statistical analyses were performed using R software (version 4.5.0) and a random‑effects model to calculate pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane ROB‑2 tool. Results: Five RCTs, most featuring co-interventions alongside RS-tDCS in both study arms and one specifically targeting MS patients with cannabis use disorder, including 291 participants, were analyzed. Active RS‑tDCS did not significantly improve information‑processing speed (SMD = 0.20; 95% CI: –0.06 to 0.45; P = 0.13, n studies: 4). No significant effects were observed for secondary outcomes. Conclusion: Evidence from five heterogeneous RCTs, predominantly featuring co-interventions, shows no clear benefit of RS-tDCS for MS cognitive or functional outcomes (very low to low certainty). This highlights substantial uncertainty; larger standalone trials are required.

Surgery remains the cornerstone of management in breast cancer patients. Regional anesthesia techniques, such as the erector spinae plane block (ESPB), hav
