Any information regarding this would be very much appreciated. I would also like to thank those who have posted on their experiences with tdcs, this information is very helpful.

Hi Marg,
So sorry your daughter has to face CRPS at such a young age. Her youth is in her favor though. I have not reviewed any clinical trials regarding tDCS and adolescents. As a start I suggest you give a call to Dr. James Fugedy in Atlanta one of the top tDCS docs in the country.
If anyone knows the answer to your question he would. Dr. Fugedy runs a private tDCS treatment clinic for chronic forms of pain, including Fibro. I understand that Dr. Fugedy has had excellent success with Fibro patients.
Since the treatment has been scientifically proven to be safe, is non-invasive and has a very low incidence of side effects, none of them serious, it would be a good thing to try if it is successful in adolescents.
Hope this is helpful.
