Patient-delivered tDCS on chronic neuropathic pain in prior responders to TMS (a randomized controlled pilot study)
Journal of Pain Research Dec 15, 2018
O'Neill F, et al. - Researchers performed this pilot study to examine the efficacy of patient-delivered transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for chronic neuropathic pain in prior responders to transcranial magnetic stimulation. They recruited a total of 24 subjects with neuropathic pain, who had previously experienced repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) motor cortex stimulation (13 with reduction in pain scores, 11 nonresponders), at the Pain Research Institute, Fazakerley, UK. All patients reported satisfactory usability of the tDCS device but with no significant changes in anxiety, depression, or quality of life measurements. Outcomes thus did not support tDCS as beneficial in this group of patients.
