Transcranial direct current stimulation of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder to improve decision making and reduce obsession symptoms

ABSTRACT

Objective: Recent studies on treating obsessive compulsive disorder [OCD] have investigated noninvasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS] to enhance patients' performance. This study aimed to analyzed the affect of anodal and cathodal tDCS applied over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [DLPFC] on higher cognitive process and reduce obsession symptoms in patients with OCD
