Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been found to be an effective treatment for people with treatment-resistant OCD in decreasing their OCD symptoms and symptoms of other co-morbid conditions such as anxiety and depression.
As 40% of people with OCD may not respond well to conventional treatment options such as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a generally safe treatment option that helps them in decreasing their obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
The number of sessions depends on the person’s severity of OCD and how responsive they are to the treatment.
