Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The general configuration of the study consists of capturing the second basketball team of FC BARCELONA. For this, a double-blind capture system will be available (neither the specialist nor those responsible for recovery will know which patients are entering the complementary treatment) and two NESA XSIGNAL® devices operating in double-blind (due to the imperceptivity of the stimulation performed, there will be a placebo machine and another that applies the treatment).
At the end of the study, the results obtained between the different groups of patients will be able to be compared; those additionally treated with a device, those treated with a placebo device and those in the standard rehabilitation procedure without a device.
The variables of the study will be collected at three time points: before the intervention, during the intervention and at the end of the intervention.
The statistical analysis will be an intention-to-treat analysis. For the main outcomes variables a two factor ANOVA will-be performed (intervention-time) with a post-hoc analysis with kruskal wallis correction correction. Statistical significance will be defined as p \<0.05

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Non-invasive Neuromodulation
Intervention with microcurrents: application of 6 electrodes per extremity and an adhesive electrode at C7 level.
Non-invasive Neuromodulation
The electrodes will be placed with the help of gloves and adapted socks for 1 hour, twice a week, until 10 intervention sessions are completed. In addition, depending on the session, an adhesive electrode will be placed at the level of C7. Characteristics of microcurrents:
pulsed monophasic rectangular wave with a pulse of 1.3 s and pause of 300 ms, voltage 3 mV and intensity 0.5 μA.
Placebo Non-invasive Neuromodulation
Placebo microcurrents Intervention with microcurrents: application of 6 electrodes per extremity and an adhesive electrode at C7 level.
Placebo Non-invasive Neuromodulation
The same protocol described for the experimental group will be applied, but microcurrents device which will be previously manipulated and tested with an oscilloscope so that they do not emit electrical currents.
