I really did not think I would ever get good sleep after I developed CRPS. That fear was reinforced with the implantation of the Boston Scientific Spinal Cord Stimulator. Although the stimulator temporarily helped the pain it didn't touch the sleep problems. When the stim caused a spread and then stopped working altogether the sleep issues became even worse.

I have been sleeping like a baby since very soon after beginning tDCS treatments. I am no longer taking any sleep meds and I have tried many over the years.

The relief I have gotten from tDCS for sleep alone is life changing for me (and that does not even address all of the other symptom relief I have had.) All of the symptoms of CRPS progression are either improving or gone.
