Overview

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive, low-intensity technique of brain stimulation, in which small current is passed through the brain with the help of two electrodes placed on the person’s head. In a typical session, current of 1 to 2 mA is given continuously for 30 minutes, of which only a fraction reaches the brain. However, because of the plasticity and excitability of the brain makes it sensitive to even low intensity stimulation of direct current. tDCS produces lasting changes in the functioning of the brain because of which it has been used for the treatment of various neurological and psychiatric disorders.
There have been no adverse effects reported such as hospitalization, cardiac arrest, seizures, or death, although there are mild side effects that are commonly reported such as itching, skin redness and burning sensation which are usually limited to the duration of the sessions and are well-tolerated. Within the parameters used to conduct the tDCS session, it is found to be a safe treatment option which is well-tolerated.
