Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to explore whether 4 weeks of at-home transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation (tAN) can reduce chronic pain after a stroke. Investigators will recruit up to 24 participants with chronic post-stroke upper extremity pain. The goal is to determine if there is a pain reduction after ear stimulation.
Primary Outcome
We will determine the pain threshold with a 30 × 30 mm thermode attached to the non-affected forearm of participants (TSA2 thermode; Medoc, Durham, NC, USA). Using the TSA2, we will determine heat sensitivity beginning at 32°C and increasing by 0.5°C per second. Participants will be asked to press a button (to record temperatures) when the stimulus is first detected (sensory threshold). We will acquire QST data at baseline, after one session (30 minutes) of tAN, after 2 weeks of tAN, and after 4
