There is preliminary evidence that high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) could reduce cue-induced sexual arousal. Here,...
Patients with Multiple sclerosis (MS) usually suffer from severe neurological disabilities. Spasticity is one of the most bothering and disabling manifestations that MS patients suffer from. Owing to ...
5 consecutive daily sessions of 20 minutes duration of active anodal tDCS over the ipsilesional motor cortex were given to 10 relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) patients with at least 1 spastic lower limb ...
Patients who received active anodal tDCS showed significant improvement (p< 0.05) in the H/M amplitude ratio as compared to the sham group. However, there was no significant difference between the two...
Anodal direct current stimulation of the ipsilesional motor cortex in patients with MS, resulted in reduced spasticity as per neurophysiological assessment....
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can alter cortical excitability, making it a useful tool for promoting neuroplasticity in dysphagia rehabilitation. Clinical trials show functional impro...
As a novel paradigm, tDCS, functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), and surface electromyography (sEMG) were simultaneously administered while participants completed a swallowing task. This allo...
There was no significant difference in the hemodynamic response by time or amplitude. However, post-hoc analyses indicated that in the post-stimulation period, changes to the hemodynamic response in t...
During a swallowing task, healthy volunteers receiving 1 mA of anodal tDCS demonstrated a suppressed hemodynamic response during and after stimulation whereas those receiving 2 mA of anodal tDCS had a...
The aim of this study is to investigate the acute effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on reaction time, response inhibition and attention in fencers....
Sixteen professional female fencers were recruited, and subjected to anodal tDCS and sham stimulation in the primary motor area (M1) one week apart in a randomized, crossover, single-blind design. A t...
The study found a significant improvement in response inhibition and attention allocation from pre-stimulation to post-stimulation following anodal tDCS but not after sham stimulation. There was no st...
A single session of anodal tDCS could improve response inhibition, attention allocation in female fencers. This shows that tDCS has potential to improve aspects of an athlete's cognitive performance, ...
Children with hemiparesis (CWH) due to stroke early in life face lifelong impairments in motor function. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be a safe and feasible adjuvant therapy to a...
Various situations in our everyday life call for response inhibition, mechanisms deputed to outright stop an ongoing course of action. This function reportedly involves the activity of the right intra...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is a promising technique for enhancing working memory (WM) performance in healthy and psychiat...
This randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial enrolled 120 healthy right-handed adults who were randomly allocated to four stimulation groups: tRNS + direct current (DC) offset, tRNS, tDCS, or ...
For the d-prime score during stimulation, the tRNS group significantly performed better than the sham group at online assessment (β = 0.310, p = 0.001). In the relationships between the benefit of eac...
tRNS applied to the left DLPFC significantly improved WM performance and generated greater benefits for healthy individuals with lower WM performance. These findings highlight the potential utility of...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can be used to improve post-stroke aphasia. However, given the mixed evidence for its efficacy, individual differences may moderate the relative benefit ...
Examine whether individual differences influenced the effect of tDCS on language recovery....
In this randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, efficacy study of tDCS combined with language therapy for subacute post-stroke aphasia, patients completed an evaluation including the Philadelphia N...
Significant interactions were observed between tDCS group and both age and education. The predictors of a positive response to tDCS differed from the predictors of a positive response to language trea...
Age and education influence the efficacy of different treatment strategies. Refinement of treatment selection is important to the overall individualization and optimization of post-stroke patient care...
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02674490....
The majority of human activities show a trade-off between movement speed and accuracy. Here we tested 16 participants in a quick pointing action after 20 minutes (2 mA) of transcranial direct current ...
Cognitive dysfunction is a persistent residual symptom in major depressive disorders (MDDs) that hinders social and occupational recovery. Cognitive inflexibility is a typical cognitive dysfunction in...
The current study included 20 patients with MDD (seven females) and 22 age-matched healthy controls (HCs) (seven females). The participants received anodal tDCS on either the dorsomedial prefrontal co...
We found that the behavioral cost of a task switch was increased in patients with MDD, but that of proactive interference was comparable between patients with MDD and HCs. The response time for anodal...
These findings suggest that cognitive inflexibility in MDD is primarily explained by the difficulty to adapt to a new task and environment, and that tDCS on the DMPFC improves behavioral performance d...
