First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce pain in sedated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Forty adults on ventilators and receiving morphine will receive either real or fake tDCS. The goal is to see if tDCS can lower pain and the need for morphine, which can have side effects.
