Summary

The proposed project aims to explore possible neuromodulatory effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on neuropathic pain caused by peripheral neuropathy. tDCS will be performed through an MRI-compatible stimulation setting during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanning. The stimulation target of tDCS will be the primary motor cortex (M1) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We expect that results from the current project will advance the understanding of neuromodulatory mechanisms of tDCS and facilitate the development of treatment strategies for patients with neuropathic pain.
