Vasconcelos et al., 2023. Journal of Global Health Neurology and Psychiatry
- Selective and sustained attention improved after 15 consecutive days of tDCS treatment in adults with ADHD.
- There was a positive effect on executive function components, such as concentration and maintenance of effort over time.
- Treatment was administered using Sooma tDCS, with sessions lasting 30 minutes at 2 mA.
- The electrodes were placed bilaterally with the anode in the left dorsolateral prefrontal position.
- tDCS was found to be a safe therapy with mild and self-limiting side effects.
