No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) aims to induce cortical plasticity by modulating the activity of brain structures. The broad stimulation pattern, which is one of the main limitations of tDCS, can be overcome with the recently developed technique called High-Definition tDCS (HD-TDCS). The objective of the current study is to investigate the effect of HD-tDCS on tinnitus in a large patient cohort.
