I positioned the leads in the recommended fashion: cathode of right motor cortex (contralateral to her worst pain on left side), anode over left forehead (I'm rushed at the moment; hope I'm not stating anode/cathode backwards).

We decided to try again this week, as she has experienced a bad flare-up. I saw your posts last night, and you've inspired me to double our efforts, which we were actually contemplating (2x/day, two weeks). My question: which electrode placement do you think is working best for you? I certainly agree with your point that precise placement is not essential given the broad distribution of the charge.
Hi iguanabill,

I assume the device you are using is an iontophoresis unit? I have not come across any references in the literature of tDCS causing a CRPS flare. If not done correctly it can cause a burning sensation, which could certainly ignite a flare. Please send me a pm in more detail.
