Active tDCS or Sham tDCS

tDCS is a painless technique which consists in applying low direct-current through electrodes (one electrode serving as an anode, the other as a cathode) placed on the scalp to target the cerebral cortex. In patients with chronic pain, the anode is commonly placed over the motor cortex (M1) (Valeriani et al., 1999).
