Low Intensity TES Protocols for the Treatment of Chronic Pain and Migraine: Current Status and Future Directions

This is a past event, but you can watch the recorded session from here.

Welcome to ANT Neuro Educational Webinar Series! 

In this webinar the aim is to talk about improving the general understanding of the central mechanisms of pain modulation by explaining the therapeutic effects of low intensity transcranial electrostimulation in the treatment of conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain and migraine. In these disorders pathological alterations of neural activity, excitability, and connectivity at multiple sites of cerebral pain processing can be observed.

This webinar will be presented by Prof. Andrea Antal who holds a position as an extraordinary professor at the University of Medical Center in Göttingen, Germany, head of the Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation Laboratory at the Department of Neurology and she is one of the world's leading experts on developing direct current (tDCS) and alternating current stimulation (tACS) protocols. The focus of her research group is to introduce safe and individualized transcranial brain stimulation protocols in the every-day clinical practice.

During the webinar the current state of the art of tDCS and tACS to manage pain will be discussed and future strategies to optimize stimulation’s effects, such as using the combination of protocols (e.g. tDCS and mindfulness meditation), will also be mentioned.
