Existing treatments for substance use disorders are often subject to drop-out or relapse. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) possibly has a positive effect on this problem.
To give an updated qualitative review of existing studies investigating the clinical effects of transcranial direct current stimulation for people with a substance use disorder, considering the many recently published studies.
Extensive literature search in the electronic database PubMed. We included 43 studies on top of the 7 studies already included in the previous review of Herremans and Baeken (2017) in this journal.
The majority of the studies showed a positive effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on clinical measures as craving and abstinence. However, there was little uniformity in used protocols.
Transcranial direct current stimulation can be an effective treatment for people with a substance use disorder. Optimal parameters need to be established to make the treatment maximally effective and adapted to the individual patient.
物质使用障碍的现有治疗方法常常会出现患者退出或复发的情况。经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)可能对此问题有积极作用。
鉴于最近发表了许多研究,对现有调查经颅直流电刺激对物质使用障碍患者临床效果的研究进行最新的定性综述。
在电子数据库PubMed中进行广泛的文献检索。除了本期刊先前由赫雷曼斯和贝肯(2017年)综述中已纳入的7项研究外,我们还纳入了43项研究。
大多数研究表明经颅直流电刺激对诸如渴望和戒断等临床指标有积极作用。然而,所使用的方案几乎没有一致性。
经颅直流电刺激可以成为物质使用障碍患者的有效治疗方法。需要确定最佳参数以使治疗效果最大化并适应个体患者。
