Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) effects on traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery: A systematic review

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of chronic disability. Less than a quarter of moderate and severe TBI patients improved in their cognition within 5 years. Non-invasive brain stimulation, including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), may help neurorehabilitation by boosting adaptive neuroplasticity and reducing pathological sequelae following TBI. Methods: we searched MEDLINE/PubMed and Web of Science databases. We used Jadad scale to assess methodological assumptions. Resu… Show more

“…To in uence neuronal plasticity, non-invasive brain neurostimulation (NIBS) uses an extrinsic-induced electrical stimulus to modulate neuronal excitability, synaptic strength and dendritic connections. Long-term potentiation (LTP) increases synaptic transmission between two neurons by modulating GABAergic and glutamatergic synapses, while long-term depression (LTD) decreases it and reduces glutamate excitotoxicity and GABA-mediated inhibition (4,11,12). The two most studied modalities are transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).…”

“…High-frequency stimulation facilitates neuronal e ciency, while low-frequency rTMS reduces it (3,12). Depending on the frequency of stimulation (rTMS) or the polarity of the direct current (tDCS), these techniques can induce LTP-like or LTD-like effects that last beyond the stimulation time frame (3,4,11,12).…”

“…NIBS could be a promising complementary treatment when used in combination with conventional cognitive rehabilitation to enhance rehabilitation in patients with brain injury; however, there is currently, no systematic review examining its effects on cognitive impairment after TBI. There are reviews of rTMS and tDCS in TBI [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. Some reviews focused on depression, dizziness, central pain, and visual neglect [ 18 , 19 ], while others were not specifically focused on current paradigms of NIBS therapeutic application [ 19 , 20 ].…”
