Brief summary (from the registry)
The purpose of the study is to compare the analgesic effect of 2 mA anodal direct current stimulation on the right primary motor cortex (M1) (tDCS) with a similar stimulation on the spine (D10) (tsDCS) in healthy volunteers (HV) followed by a pilot study in patients suffering of endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain (CPP)
