“…Figures 3–7 show estimated marginal means of COWS, DDQ, OCDUS, and Glx and GABA, respectively. The tDCS side effect checklist 26 did reveal burning sensation in 1 patient and itching in 3 patients of active groups. No patient had to be discontinued for side effects.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this was the first effort for examining the effect of adjunctive HD-tDCS on craving and withdrawal in OUD. Instead of a conventional one, HD-tDCS offers more focal stimulation and longer-lasting effects 26 . Whereas an earlier study 16 applied a single session per day, our study applied a twice-a-day session from days 2 to 6 of abstinence while participants were initiated on BPN.…”

ObjectiveOur study aimed to (1) examine the effect of adjunctive high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) in craving and withdrawal among patients with opioid use disorder on buprenorphine-naloxone, and (2) examine effect of HD-tDCS changes in glutamate-glutamine and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) among patients with opioid use disorder on buprenorphine-naloxone.MethodsThis was a pilot randomized double-blind, sham-controlled parallel-group study. A total of 28 patients on buprenorphine-naloxone (6/1.5 mg/d) were randomly allocated into 2 groups for active and sham HD-tDCS stimulation. High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation was administered twice daily for consecutive 5 days, from days 2 to 6. The Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS), the Desire for Drug Questionnaire (DDQ), the Obsessive-Compulsive Drug Use Scale (OCDUS), and glutamate-glutamine and GABA at DLPFC via proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy were measured at baseline and on day 7.ResultsBoth active and sham groups had comparable changes in DDQ, OCDUS (except 2 subcomponents), COWS, and glutamate-glutamine and GABA at DLPFC. In the active HD-tDCS group, statistically significant reductions were observed in DDQ, OCDUS, and COWS but not in glutamate-glutamine and GABA.ConclusionsThe adjunctive active HD-tDCS group showed comparable changes in craving and withdrawal, and glutamate-glutamine and GABA at DLPFC compared with sham HD-tDCS. Craving and withdrawal but not glutamate-glutamine and GABA at DLPFC decreased significantly with adjunctive HD-tDCS. Future studies with larger sample size and online assessment of glutamate-glutamine and GABA would enhance our knowledge.

“…However, tDCS and tACS are most widely used in the study of cognitive improvement at present, so the subsequent introduction will mainly focus on these two methods. High-precision transcranial electrical stimulation has a current path composed of multiple electrodes and high directivity, so it has great advantages in stimulation accuracy and current density compared to traditional transcranial electrical stimulation ( DaSilva et al, 2015 ; Turski et al, 2017 ; Pa Rlikar et al, 2021 ). In addition, the following parameters can affect the intervention effect in transcranial electrical stimulation experiments.…”

Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Offers the Possibility of Improving Teamwork Among Military Pilots: A Review

Effective teamwork among military pilots is key to successful mission completion. The underlying neural mechanism of teamwork is thought to be inter-brain synchronization (IBS). IBS could also be explained as an incidental phenomenon of cooperative behavior, but the causality between IBS and cooperative behavior could be clarified by directly producing IBS through extra external stimuli applied to functional brain regions. As a non-invasive technology for altering brain function, transcranial electrical stimulation might have the potential to explore whether top-down enhancement of the synchronization of multiple brains can change cooperative behavioral performance among members of a team. This review focuses on the characteristic features of teamwork among military pilots and variations in neuroimaging obtained by hyper-scanning. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility that transcranial electrical stimulation could be used to improve teamwork among military pilots, try to provide a feasible design for doing so, and emphasize crucial aspects to be addressed by future research.

“…Previous studies have found a cost-effective benefit of using tDCS in patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury compared to standard pharmacological care (Xi et al, 2021), however, more studies are needed . When a different approach is necessary -even for non-painful conditions -, it is possible to use HD-tDCS, which is associated with a more focused and longer-lasting neuromodulatory effect (Parlikar et al 2021).…”
