Summary

The investigators are doing a study to learn about the effects of a type of low-energy non-surgical electrical brain stimulation (HD-tDCS) on chronic pain in people's jaw joints. Disorders in these joints are called temporomandibular joint disorders, or TMD.

Conditions

  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS)

HD-tDCS is a non-invasive brain neuromodulatory method for M1 that involves sending a weak electrical current into your brain.
