Evaluation of the Effectiveness of tDCS in the Management of Perioperative Pain
9. juli 2018 opdateret af: Medical University of South Carolina
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new medical technology can help reduce post-operative pain.
The new technology is called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.
Studieoversigt
Detaljeret beskrivelse
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the management of postoperative pain.
Specifically, this study will determine whether patients undergoing any type of inpatient surgical procedure that routinely requires at least a 1-day inpatient stay post-operatively will report less pain and use less opioid analgesics following a series of 20-minute sessions of tDCS (compared to sham tDCS) delivered up to twice per day post-operatively.
In addition to comparing the effects of real tDCS to sham tDCS, the present study will evaluate the interaction of dose (number and frequency of tDCS sessions) and surgery type.

Deltagergruppe / Arm |
Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: Real tDCS:Active Comparator
For Real tDCS, stimulation will be delivered in 20-minute-sessions using 2mA current.
The anode will be placed over left BA9 or the motor cortex corresponding with the painful area (if applicable).
The cathode will be placed over right BA43 (for GI pain) or right BA9 (located via the international 10-20 EEG system).
|
20 minutes of either real or sham stimulation
|
|
Eksperimentel: Sham tDCS: Sham Comparator
For sham tDCS, the device will be turned on for 30 seconds and then turned off for the duration of the 20-minute session.
|
20 minutes of either real or sham stimulation

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|

Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Hydromorphone Usage
Tidsramme: Participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 48 hours.
|
The PCA pump usage was downloaded from the PCA pump after discharge from the hospital.

Participants were followed for the duration of hospital stay, an average of 48 hours.

Average Pain at Least
Tidsramme: Baseline and Discharge
|
To assess each participant's average pain at it's least in the past 24 hours, The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)-short form will be administered.
The BPI rapidly assesses the severity of pain and its impact on functioning and has been widely used in both research and clinical settings.
Participants rate their average pain at it's least in the past 24 hours using a 0-10 numerical rating scale, where 0=no pain and 10=extreme pain.
