Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two treatments, Bodily Illusion (BI) and a small electrical current, to help people with neuropathic pain. BI tricks the brain into feeling the body differently to reduce pain, while the electrical current changes brain activity to lessen pain. The goal is to find new ways to treat pain that doesn't respond well to regular medications.
