First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests whether gentle brain stimulation (tDCS or TMS) can reduce chronic pain in the face or mouth. About 50 adults who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments will receive either real stimulation or a sham (placebo) over two weeks. Researchers will measure pain levels, chewing ability, and quality of life to see if this non-invasive approach works.
