Polarity-specific modulation of pain processing by transcranial direct current stimulation – a blinded longitudinal fMRI study

Abstract Background To enrich the hitherto insufficient understanding regarding the mechanisms of action of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in pain disorders, we investigated its modulating effects on cerebral pain processing using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods...
