Abstract
TDCS is one of the most widely used non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, which changes the excitability of local cortical tissue by applying weak continuous direct current to the scalp, effectively improves the attention and concentration of ADHD children, and improves the impulse disorder of patients, but related research is still in its infancy. Based on a review of a large number of existing literatures and an analysis of the pathogenesis and principle of ADHD, this paper summarized the research on tDCS in the treatment of ADHD in recent years from the aspects of treatment mechanism, safety and stimulation parameters, and simply compared the application of tDCS with other non-traumatic neuromodulation techniques in the treatment of ADHD. The future development direction of this technology is further discussed.
期刊介绍:
The investigation of basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders has undoubtedly deepened our knowledge of these types of disorders. The impact of basic neurosciences on the understanding of the pathophysiology of the brain will further increase due to important developments such as the emergence of more specific psychoactive compounds and new technologies.
The Journal of Neural Transmission aims to establish an interface between basic sciences and clinical neurology and psychiatry. It intends to put a special emphasis on translational publications of the newest developments in the field from all disciplines of the neural sciences that relate to a better understanding and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
