Reboot Pain Study is testing if a non-drug treatment called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can help reduce chronic pain in veterans and military members. tDCS uses a weak electrical current on the brain to ease pain signals. Participants will be in the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program's mental health treatment and be aged 18 to 89. This study lasts two weeks, with short 20-minute daily tDCS sessions. Participants must complete daily surveys, questionnaires, and interviews.
Key Points:
- Study involves daily sessions for two weeks and follow-up 3, 6, and 12 months later.
- Participants will be recruited from Emory Healthcare Veterans Program in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Participation is voluntary with the option to withdraw anytime without penalty.
Participants must not have certain medical conditions like a pacemaker or seizure disorder. They should not be using specific medications, and pregnant individuals are excluded. All data will be private and not used for other research. Upon joining, participants will sign a consent form online to ensure they understand the study.
