Application of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Patients With Chronic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury
Investigation of the Mechanisms of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of Motor Cortex for the Treatment of Chronic Pain in Spinal Cord Injury
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the novel treatment of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could decrease the pain perception of those with spinal cord injury.
We will also determine whether these changes are correlated with the clinical outcome (pain reduction).

Beskrivelse
STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA (similar to the criteria of the Interstitial Cystitis Network)
- Providing informed consent to participate in the study
- 18 to 64 years old
- with traumatic spinal cord injury (complete or incomplete) - for instance, due to fall, car accident or gun shot; (for spinal cord injury only)
- stable chronic pain for at least the three preceding months(for spinal cord injury only)
- score higher or equal to 4cm (0 cm= 'no pain' and 10cm='worst possible pain') on the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain perception at the baseline/start of the treatment(for spinal cord injury only)
- refractoriness to drugs for pain relieve - such as tricyclic antidepressants, antiepileptic drugs and/or narcotics (pain resistant to at least 2 of these drugs supplied in adequate dosages for six months) (for spinal cord injury only)
- pain is not attributable to other causes, such as peripheral inflammation.
- No clinically significant or unstable medical or psychiatric disorder

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: tDCS/Spinal cord injury
Subjects will be randomized to receive 10 sessions of either active or sham tDCS.
Stimulation will be given on consecutive days (Monday- Friday) at 2 mA over the primary motor cortex area.
|
Stimulation will be applied at 2 mA for a total of 20 minutes.

|
Eksperimentel: tDCS/Healthy subjects
Subjects will receive 2 sessions of stimulation: one active and one sham tDCS on two separate visits.
The order in which they receive the stimulation will be randomized.
Stimulation parameters will be at 2 mA for a total of 20 minutes.
