Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses a low-level electrical current to stimulate the brain:
- How it works A powered stimulator sends a weak electrical current through electrodes and conductive material placed on the scalp.
- What it’s used for tDCS can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including neurological disorders, depression, and addictive disorders. It can also be used to enhance the benefits of physical, occupational, or speech therapy
