Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help manage pain in sedated intensive care patients who cannot speak. The goal is to reduce the need for strong painkillers like morphine, which can have side effects. Researchers will measure pain using pupil responses and behavior changes in 40 adults on ventilators.
