Summary

Obesity is worldwide a public health problem. According to World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obesity are the fifth death risk factor worldwide. At least 2.8 million adults die each year. Food addiction is one of the causes of obesity that may benefit from new therapeutic options.

Conditions

  • Overweight, Obesity and Other Hyperalimentation (E65-E68)

Interventions

DEVICE

Active tRNS

The intervention consists in active tRNS stimulation with cathode above the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) which corresponds to the F3 location given by the 10-20 system. Anode is above the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F4). 100Hz-650Hz, 2mA, 30min, twice daily, 5 days

DEVICE

Sham tRNS

The intervention consists in placebo or sham tRNS stimulation electrode are above F3 and F4. Voltage will be ramped at the begin and end of a stimulation for 30 seconds. Placebo stimulation will consist of just applying the ramps at the begin and end of the stimulation.
