Title: A Single-Blind, Randomized Control Trial of Adjunctive Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Chronic Pain Among Patients Receiving Specialized, Inpatient Multi-Modal Pain Management
Brief Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an investigational device that has not been approved for the treatment of any medical condition by the FDA but is allowed to be used for research purposes. In clinical trials tDCS has been associated with pain relief by decreasing the intensity and duration of chronic pain. tDCS potentially works by stimulating the brain by delivering an extremely low-level electrical current to areas below the forehead - areas associated with chronic pain. It is anticipated that this current will increase brain activity or the likelihood of brain activity in these areas, affecting individual's ability to regulate pain.

The purpose of this study is to compare eligible participants in the Pain Management Program at The Menninger Clinic receiving adjunctive real transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) versus those receiving sham tDCS in the resolution of chronic pain. The primary objectives are: (1) improving pain tolerance and (2) improving subjective pain experience. Secondary objectives are: (1) improving subjective experience of sleep quality and (2) increasing physical activity.
