Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on physical and mental health in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain: a randomized controlled trial.

Our results suggest a beneficial effect of tDCS combined with PT in older adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain in the reduction of pain sensation, increment of physical activity level, increment of the quality of life, and reduction of depression incidents. This opens the possibility the possibility of using tDCS as a regular treatment for this population's physical and mental health.
