Abstract
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Challenges, Opportunities, and Impact on Psychiatry and Neurorehabilitation
Highlights
Another important characteristic of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is that it can potentially be adapted for home-use, which would bring about an important advance to the therapeutic field of brain stimulation (Priori et al, 2009)
It is more difficult to observe positive clinical effects by serendipity – because tDCS has presently no standard clinical use, all effects can only be observed through research
As well as the reporting and dissemination of results, usually has a significant time span. Considering such challenges, we proposed a Research Topic in Frontiers in Psychiatry, named The frontiers of clinical research on tDCS in neuropsychiatry
Summary
Another important characteristic of tDCS is that it can potentially be adapted for home-use, which would bring about an important advance to the therapeutic field of brain stimulation (Priori et al, 2009). TDCS clinical trials are still in their infancy. One possible reason is that tDCS use requires basic knowledge on a neural basis of electrical current fields and neuroscience.
