tACS for Neuropathic Pain Management After SCI
About this trial
This trial is enrolling 14 individuals with spinal cord injury to test the effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on neuropathic pain management. tACS is a technique that applies a weak oscillatory current of electrical stimulation to the brain through the scalp. If included, participants will receive tACS in three treatment arms, 20 minutes each, in random order: sham tACS, stimulation at 10Hz, stimulation at 20Hz. Final testing of subjective pain and heart rate variability will be performed 15 minutes after the intervention.
