No standardized clinical treatments exist and there is no conclusive understanding of the underlying mechanisms causing it. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been used to find correlations between changes in brain activity and various brain conditions, including neurological disease, mental illnesses, and brain disorders. Studies have also shown that NIBS can be effective in alleviating pain. Here, we examined the literature on a particular type of NIBS, known as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and its application to the treatment of PLP.We first discuss the current hypotheses on theworkingmechanism of tDCS and then we examine published evidence of its efficacy to treat PLP. We conclude this article by discussing how tDCS alone, and in combination with brain imaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetic resonance imagining, could be applied to further investigate the mechanisms underlyingPLP.","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-939","research-library","type-research-library","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.14 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the treatment and investigation of Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) - Center for Bionics and Pain Research<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/cbpr.center\/sv\/research-library\/transcranial-direct-current-stimulation-tdcs-for-the-treatment-and-investigation-of-phantom-limb-pain-plp\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"sv_SE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the treatment and investigation of Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) - Center for Bionics and Pain Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a complex medical condition that is often difficult to treat, and thus can become detrimental to patients\u2019 quality of life.
