Summary

This study explores the effects transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS, Soterix ©) on Phantom Limb Pain for patients experiencing chronic phantom limb pain in open-label study design.

Conditions

  • Phantom Limb Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): (Soterix ©)

Subjects will undergo tDCS stimulation. We will use electrodes of 35cm\^2, at an intensity of 2mA on the primary motor cortex contralateral to the amputated limb (or for bilateral amputees contralateral to the most painful side). The subject will undergo stimulation for 20 minutes. The subject will have 5 sessions of stimulation during a 1 week time period.
