No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of noninvasive neuromodulation with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) aimed at enhancing the excitability of the left prefrontal cortex in middle-aged women with excess body weight. This is a randomized, parallel, double-blind study with a duration of 4 weeks. Outcome measures will include changes in performance in a computerized task assessing executive functions, subjective measures of food craving and appetite and changes in body weight.
