Effectiveness of Transcranial and Suboccipital Direct Current Stimulation on Endogenous Pain Modulation System in Healthy Volunteers.

University of Castilla-La Mancha·interventional·Posted Oct 7, 2019·Updated Mar 16, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Direct Current Stimulation and Sham DCS for Pain and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Randomized controlled trial, in parallel with cross-control design. Two groups of healthy subjects will be randomly selected to transcranial stimulation group or suboccipital stimulation group. Each group receive in a randomized order a real direct current session and a sham session. The study is based on the hypothesis that the application of direct current sitmulation applied at the suboccipital level produce higher modifications on endogenous pain modulation system than transcranial stimulation.

Interventions

Direct Current Stimulationdevice

20 minutes of direct current stimulation using an intensity of 1.5mA and electrode size of 6x4cm

Sham DCSdevice

20 minutes of sham stimulation. Subjects will be stimulated during the first 30 seconds. After that, a ramp down of 10 seconds and then the stimulator is turned-off.
