Abstract
Results from this double-blind cortical-target-optimization study suggest that anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left prefrontal cortex may be a reasonable approach to reducing post-TKA opioid requirements. Given the unexpected finding that motor cortex failed to produce an opioid sparing effect in this follow-up trial, further research in the area of post-operative cortical stimulation is still needed.
