Personalized High-Definition tDCS Protocols for Chronic Pain Treatment

Summary

This study aims to examine the use of neurostimulation as a potential adjuvant treatment for chronic pain. Among neurostimulation techniques, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) represents a promising, yet not fully exploited, option. Recent methodological advances allow for increased intensity and focality of its effects through personalized high-definition tDCS protocols (HD-tDCS), enabling targeted stimulation of specific brain regions involved in pain and analgesia processing, suc
