A sham-controlled, phase II trial of transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of central pain in traumatic spinal cord injury
Past evidence has shown that motor cortical stimulation with invasive and non-invasive
brain stimulation is effective to relieve central pain. Here we aimed to study the effects of …
