Investigation and Treatment of Central Nervous System Dysfunction in Chronic Pelvic Pain.
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Pelvic Pain and Healthy. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective in reducing pain in subjects with chronic pelvic pain. Our hypothesis is that tDCS will decrease pain significantly when compared to sham stimulation.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Chronic pain subjects will be randomized to receive either active or sham stimulation for the duration of the trial. The subject will receive 10 consecutive sessions at an intensity of 2mA with each session lasting 20 minutes. If the subject receives active stimulation the current will be applied for the full 20 minutes, while in the sham group current will only be applied for 30 seconds. In the healthy cohort, subjects will receive one session of active stimulation and one session of sham stimulation. The parameters will be the same as the pain subjects, at an intensity of 2mA for 20 minutes.
