Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Active Comparator
Placebo Comparator
Treated Arm: Magnetic Spinal Stimulation plus PKT
Sham comparator
Three months of kinesthetic and phoniatric treatment, and Magnetic Spinal Stimulation, 80% of the cervical muscles's motor threshold, 100 pulses at 10Hz, lasting 10 seconds, repeated during 30 minutes, twice a week for 3 months on cervical lateral location, focalized on the Lateral Spinal Cord.
They will receive kinesthetic and phoniatric treatment, and during 3 months,with equal periodicity, they will receive a sensible false magnetic stimulation, of equal localization that other arm, with insufficient intensity, to blind clinical experience.
