About
Wolnei Caumo is a leading figure in neuromodulation and pain research, whose work has fundamentally shaped the clinical application of non-invasive brain stimulation. His primary research areas encompass chronic pain mechanisms, neuropsychiatric disorders, and the therapeutic use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Caumo’s most impactful contribution is his leadership in the landmark 2020 study, "Evidence-Based Guidelines and Secondary Meta-Analysis for the Use of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders," which has garnered 592 citations. This seminal work provided the first comprehensive, expert-consensus framework for tDCS application, establishing rigorous protocols and evidence-based recommendations that have guided clinicians and researchers worldwide. Beyond this, his extensive body of work has elucidated the role of cortical excitability in pain processing and demonstrated tDCS’s efficacy for conditions like fibromyalgia and depression. With a career marked by high-impact, translational research, Caumo has bridged the gap between laboratory neuroscience and clinical practice, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer whose guidelines remain a cornerstone for the safe and effective use of brain stimulation therapies.
