Summary

Evaluating neurobiological disorder associated with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the contribution of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the adaptation of inhibitory control.

Conditions

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

This technique consists in the use of low voltage electric current to increase or reduce neuronal excitability in the area stimulated. This is a non-invasive and safe intervention having infrequent and insignificant side effects characterized by mild local discomfort, itching, tingling and/or headache of short term.

DEVICE

Sham

Same character of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation but without current
