文摘
- •
Transcutaneous spinal direct currents (tsDCS) modulate the temporal processing of the nociceptive stimuli at spinal level.
- •
tsDCS could inhibit the transitory frequency-dependent facilitation of the spinal wide dynamic range neurons activity at the basis of temporal summation of pain.
- •
As future perspective, modulation of temporal processing of nociceptive stimuli by tsDCS could be helpful in pain treatment as well as in preventing pain becoming chronic.
