Advancing pain assessment in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy for investigating brain activity
fNIRS demonstrated feasibility as an objective pain assessment tool in ADRD. tDCS served only as a probe to induce cortical modulation for evaluating fNIRS performance. In this study, tDCS functioned as a probe to induce cortical modulation for evaluating fNIRS sensitivity, not as a therapeutic intervention. Larger trials are needed to confirm fNIRS validity for clinical application.
