Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to see the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the pain and itching associated with burn injury. This study is part of the Boston-Harvard Burn Model System. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a decrease in pain levels with active stimulation, when compared to sham stimulation, using a 3 week stimulation schedule- 2 weeks of stimulation (10 consecutive days) followed by 1 week of stimulation (5 consecutive days) after three follow up visits at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after initial course of stimulation. The subject will also have follow ups at 2, 4 and 8 weeks after the second course of stimulation. If a subject receives sham during the experiment, he/she may enroll in an open-label portion of the study and receive 10 days of active stimulation.
Primary Outcome
Determine whether anodal transcranial direct current stimulation is effective in reducing pain in subjects with neuropathic pain due to burn injury, as measured by changes in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) consist consists of a 9 part questionnaire. The questions include the severity of pain levels (worst, least, average, \& current), the impact of pain on daily functioning in different areas (mood, walking, relationships, sleep, normal work, \& general activity), cur
