Article Synopsis
  • Anodal tDCS of the primary motor cortex (M1) and cathodal tDCS of the primary sensory cortex (S1) were combined in a study to see if they could effectively modulate pain thresholds compared to a sham stimulation.
  • Thirty-nine healthy participants underwent either active or sham tDCS, with assessments of pain thresholds before and after the intervention.
  • The results showed no significant differences in pain thresholds, indicating that the combined tDCS approach did not effectively induce neuromodulation in the participants, suggesting a need for further research on tDCS protocols.
