Clinical Trial: Effects of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Pain Avoidance Behavior in Chronic Pain Patients

U.S., Aug. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07791966) titled 'Effects of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation on Pain Avoidance Behavior in Chronic Pain Patients' on Aug. 18.

Brief Summary: Pain avoidance helps with survival. However, chronic pain patients often avoid valued life activities fearing onset or exacerbation of pain. Hence, pain avoidance no longer protects, but reduces quality of life. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) impact pain avoidance behavior in chronic pain patients. tACS is a way to gently stimulate the brain using a small, portable device. It sends an extremely weak...
