Last Updated: 2023-06-15

Results Overview

Change in clinical Visual Analog Scale pain score from baseline (Screening Day) to 4 weeks after completion of HD-tDCS sessions (Follow Up #2). Pain is measured on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst.

Participant Flow

The study enrolled a total of 15 participants into the protocol. Secondary data from an additional 12 participants who participated in a prior study were also incorporated into the analysis for some secondary outcome measures as noted in the protocol section.

After consent to participate, subjects underwent evaluation to ensure eligibility into the study. Several patients screen failed at this stage of the study. Additional inclusion/exclusion criteria required by the sponsor were highly strict for our patient community and excluded the majority of volunteers who were pre-screened (490 total pre-screened).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to 1 Week after completion of HD-tDCS sessions.

The difference in µOR BPND levels (a measure of receptor availability) between Baseline PET #1 and PET (#2) in TMD patients (active vs sham treatment groups). The values indicate changes in the availability of mu-opioid receptors (µOR), referred to as the non-displaceable binding potential (BPND), which reflects the density or concentration of available µORs in a particular region of interest in the brain, specifically the left thalamus. These changes are assessed by conducting baseline positron emission tomography (PET) scans prior to treatment and follow-up PET scans one week after the completion of HD-tDCS sessions. During each PET scan, µOR measurements are taken during an early resting phase. A positive value indicates increased µOR availability following treatment, while a negative value indicates decreased availability after treatment.
