Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Chronic Pain Related to Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Chronic Pain Related to Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Clinical Trial Summary

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a promising non-invasive brain stimulation technique in chronic pain. There is no study investigating the effectiveness of tDCS in radiating chronic lower extremity pain related to lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of tDCS on pain, walking capacity, functional status and quality of life in patients with chronic pain related to LSS.

32 patients diagnosed with chronic pain related to LSS will be enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Patients in active group will receive 10 sessions of anodal tDCS delivered over primary motor cortex (M1) with a constant current of 2 miliAmpers for 20 minutes. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, on day 1, 5 and 10 (after the session) and 5 days, 1 month and 3 months after treatment.
