%X To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report
in the literature showing the efficacy of transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS) in treating refractory post-herpetic neuralgia in a patient
with dermatomyositis. In addition, our results showed that tDCS sessions are
safe and do not lead to disease relapse. Therefore, despite the limitations of
being a case report, this study provides encouraging results that need to be
widely explored in studies with a representative number of patients and with an
appropriate design for patients with this systemic rheumatic autoimmune
disease.
