Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a combination of two procedures: (1) Bodily Illusion (BI) and (2) Transcranial direct electrical stimulation (tDCS) on neuropathic pain.

Conditions

  • Neuropathic Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Bodily Illusions (BI) Procedure

Each sessions will consists of two types of illusions that are 15 min each, the rubber hand illusion (RHI) and the walking illusion (WI) that involve both arms and legs.

DEVICE

Transcranial direct electrical stimulation (tDCS)

Each sessions will consists of electrical current delivered from a battery-driven, constant current stimulator using saline-soaked surface sponge electrodes. One electrode will be placed on your scalp on the right side and the other electrode over the left eye on your forehead. A weak current will be applied for 30 min at the same time as the BI.

OTHER

Sham Transcranial Direct Electrical Stimulation (tDCS)

Each session of the Sham tDCS will be applied for 30 min at the same time as the BI.
