First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help manage pain in sedated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Forty adults on ventilators and receiving morphine will receive either real or fake tDCS sessions. Researchers will measure pain using pupil responses and daily drug use to see if tDCS can reduce the need for morphine and its side effects.
