No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this double-blinded, parallel group randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) on an experimental prolonged pain model in healthy subjects.

Conditions

  • Pain, Muscle
  • Healthy

Interventions

DEVICE

Active HD-tDCS

Using the Starstim 32, HD-tDCS equipment we provide 20 minutes of 2 mA anodal multimodal stimulation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and primary motor cortex simultaneously using ring-cathode configurations around the two anodes.

DEVICE

Sham HD-tDCS

Using the Starstim 32, HD-tDCS equipment we provide sham stimulation with 30 seconds of ramping up to 2 mA intensity, then turning off for 19 minutes and then ramping down from 2 mA intensity to 0 in the last 30 seconds. This sham-configuration is intended to mimic the sensory experience of active HD-tDCS.
