Summary

This study looks at the effect of combined breathing-controlled electrical stimulation (BreEStim) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury, amputation, or brain injury. The hypothesis is that a single session of combined BreEStim and tDCS will produce an additive analgesic effect. This record covers the study in a population of spinal cord injury patients. Note that this study will also enroll healthy volunteers, brain injury patients, and amputation patients and that this study as applied to these other populations will be covered in separate ClinicalTrials.gov records.
