Summary
This study tested a painless brain stimulation treatment called tDCS in 38 veterans with chronic pain, PTSD, and depression. The treatment uses low-level electrical currents to calm overactive pain and stress circuits in the brain. Researchers wanted to see if adding tDCS to standard therapy could reduce pain and PTSD symptoms more than therapy alone.
