Building up analgesia in humans via the endogenous μ-opioid system by combining placebo and active tDCS: a preliminary report.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a method of non-invasive brain stimulation that has been frequently used in experimental and clinical pain studies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying tDCS-mediated pain control, and most important its placebo component, are not completely...
