Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation or tDCS technique

Product catalog summary
Overview of tDCS: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive and painless brain neuromodulation technique. It involves applying a low-intensity current directly to the scalp to stimulate specific brain areas.
Application Method: Electrodes are placed on the scalp based on the cortical areas targeted for stimulation, following established protocols. A low-intensity galvanic current is then applied through these electrodes.
Scientific Evidence: Over 8,000 scientific papers have been published on tDCS, with an average of more than two papers daily over the past three years.
Purpose and Effects: tDCS alters the membrane potential of neurons, affecting their excitability and enhancing neuroplasticity. Anodic tDCS causes neuronal soma depolarization and apical dendrite hyperpolarization, while cathodic tDCS results in neuronal soma hyperpolarization and apical dendrite depolarization. Consistent treatment sessions are necessary for effective therapy.
Benefits: tDCS is non-invasive, painless, can be combined with other techniques, speeds up recovery time, and reduces drug use.
Device Information: The device is manufactured in Spain, meeting quality standards. It is versatile, compact, portable, and easy to use, adaptable to various treatment protocols.
Application Fields: tDCS is used in treating chronic pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, neuropathic pain, epilepsy, stroke (aphasia, motor function), Parkinson's disease, motor rehabilitation, chronic fatigue, attention disorders, depression, anxiety, and addictions.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation or tDCS technique-1

We place different electrodes on the scalp depending on the cortical areas we want to stimulate according to the described pathology and the CAN BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TECHNIQUES published protocols, so we can apply a low intensity galvanic current through such electrodes. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS TECHNIQUE? This stimulation produces a change in the membrane potencial of the neuron depending on its polarity 1. Anodic tDCS: Neuronal soma depolarization Apical dendrite depolarized. WHAT IS THE TDCS - TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION? 61% The tDCS is a non invasive and painless technique for brain neuromodulation using a low intensity current directly on the scalp in order to stimulate certain specific brain areas High efectivity Source: Hamada et al. 2013; Wiethoff et al. 2014 There are more than 8000 scientific papers published with an average of more than 2 papers published daily during last three years SCAN SPEEDS UP RECOVERY TIME 2. Cathodic tDCS: Neuronal soma hyperpolarization. Apical dendrite hyperpolarized In essence, the application of the tDCS produces a neuromodulator effect of the neuron excitability and enhances the brain neuroplasticity on the stimulated brain area, and thus the reorganization of the nueronal connections. It is important to carry out several treatment sessions constantly to guarantee the results of the therapy. The technique shows clinical evidence in multiple pathologies.
