Motor Cortex Versus Insula Stimulation Using Transcranial Current Stimulation on Chronic Post-mastectomy Pain

tDCS will be delivered with current strength of 2 mA for 20 min . Current will be applied through two concentric electrodes target electrode; return electrode. First we will fill the electrode cage with an electroconductive gel, and then position the electrodes, with the target electrode over the FDI hotspot, and finally we fasten the electrodes with a tubular net-shaped elastic bandage in mesh tissue, making sure that it will not push the electrode forward or backward. This procedure will aim at reducing contact impedance and at creating a uniform adherence between the whole surface of the electrodes and the scalp, avoiding uneven distribution of the current (Fertonani, 2015). We will position the central electrode (anode) according to the study group over C3 or C4 , the stimulating electrode will be placed on the scalp at T7 or T8 for the insular cortex per the 10-20 (EEG) system.
