2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of how two different protocols of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), inhibitory (1 Hz) and excitatory (5 Hz), applied over the primary motor cortex of the presumed dominant hemisphere, affect functional connectivity and neurochemistry in the brain.
This study investigates comparing the effects of transcranial Pulsed Current Stimulation and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) (Soterix ©) and their combination on neurophysiological outcomes on healthy subjects as well as on the clinical population for chronic visceral pain. The study also aims to evaluate the effects of these techniques on pain thresholds in healthy subjects as well as for chronic visceral pain patients.
