Zapping pain away: brain vs. spine stimulation tested
NCT ID NCT02817880
Summary
This study tested three different non-invasive stimulation techniques to see which works best for reducing long-term pain in people with algoneurodystrophy (also called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). Thirty-six patients who hadn't gotten relief from standard pain medications tried either brain stimulation (using magnets or mild electrical currents) or spinal stimulation. Researchers tracked their pain levels and quality of life for several months to compare the results.
