tDCS therapies are now reimbursed in Estonia

Psychiatric and neuropathic patients in Estonia can now access tDCS treatments more efficiently, as the Estonian public healthcare system is currently reimbursing these neuromodulation therapies as part of its service portfolio.

With 1.3 million people, Estonia has a depression rate of about 4% (Our World in Data, 2019). After this decision, it has become the second country in Europe, after Finland, to officially support tDCS therapies as an effective tool to treat a wide range of ailments, such as depression and chronic pain.
