Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the management of epilepsy: A systematic review [PDF]

Seizure, 2021
Current therapies for the management of epilepsy are still suboptimal for several patients due to inefficacy, major adverse events, and unavailability. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), an emergent non-invasive neuromodulation technique, has been tested in epilepsy samples over the past two decades to reduce either seizure frequency or ...

Modulation of Total Sleep Time by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) [PDF]

Neuropsychopharmacology, 2016
Arousal and sleep are fundamental physiological processes, and their modulation is of high clinical significance. This study tested the hypothesis that total sleep time in humans can be modulated by the non-invasive brain stimulation technique transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting a 'top-down' cortico-thalamic pathway of sleep-wake ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for idiopathic Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, with the severity of the disability usually increasing with disease duration. IPD affects patients' health-related quality of life, disability, and impairment. Current rehabilitation approaches have limited effectiveness in improving outcomes in patients with IPD, but a possible ...

Effect of Single Session of Anodal M1 Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation—TDCS—On Cortical Hemodynamic Activity: A Pilot Study in Fibromyalgia

Brain Sciences, 2022
Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) on the primary motor cortex (M1) has been reported to be effective in fibromyalgia (FM). Our previous works have shown hypometabolism of motor networks in FM using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy ...

Clinical research with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): Challenges and future directions [PDF]

Brain Stimulation, 2012
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulatory technique that delivers low-intensity, direct current to cortical areas facilitating or inhibiting spontaneous neuronal activity. In the past 10 years, tDCS physiologic mechanisms of action have been intensively investigated giving support for the investigation of its applications in ...

Augmentation of working memory training by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) can modulate working memory (WM) performance. However, evidence regarding the enhancement of WM training, its sustainability and transferability is ambiguous.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS): A Beginner's Guide for Design and Implementation [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a popular brain stimulation method that is used to modulate cortical excitability, producing facilitatory or inhibitory effects upon a variety of behaviors. There is, however, a current lack of consensus between studies, with many results suggesting that polarity-specific effects are difficult to obtain.
