Inclusion criteria

✓. Continuing pain which is disproportionate to any inciting event or for CRPS diagnosis.
✓. Must report at least one symptom (symptoms here are reports by subject) in each of the four following categories: sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor/edema, motor/trophic.
✓. Must display at least one sign (signs here refer to objective observation/testing) in in each of the four following categories: sensory, vasomotor, sudomotor/edema, motor/trophic;

What they're measuring

Changes in the amplitude of P300

Timeframe: 15 min after and 120 min after the 1st tDCS, 15 min after and 120 min after the 5st tDCS, and at the follow up 1 week after the 5th tDCS.

Changes in the Latency of P300

Timeframe: 15 min after and 120 min after the 1st tDCS, 15 min after and 120 min after the 5st tDCS, and at the follow up 1 week after the 5th tDCS.
