Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this double-blinded, parallel group randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effects of high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) on an experimental prolonged pain model in healthy subjects. Forty healthy participants are administered the compound Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) in the right first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI), which produced prolonged muscle soreness and hyperalgesia. The forty participants are randomly allocated to either the control group receiving a Sham-tDCS paradigm, or the intervention group receiving three consecutive days of multimodal HD-tDCS targeting primary motor cortex (M1) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) simultaneously. The somatosensory profile is assessed at baseline, before administration of NGF as well as prior and post each HD-tDCS session using standardised quantitative sensory testing. It is hypothesised that the active HD-tDCS will modulate the neurological changes induced by the experimental pain condition, which will alleviate the hyperalgesia and hypersensitivity. ;
