Wandrey JD, Kastelik J, Fritzsche T, Denke C, Schäfer M, Tafelski SAbstract
Some patients with neuralgia of cranial nerves with otherwise therapy-refractory pain respond to invasive therapy with local anesthetics. Unfortunately, pain regularly relapses despite multimodal pain management. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may prolong pain response due to neuro-modulatory effects.
