Transcranial direct current stimulation

A therapeutic procedure in which a weak electrical current is conducted from the outside into the brain with the aid of electrodes. This is intended to stimulate the formation of new connections there. Transcranial direct current stimulation was originally developed for the treatment of brain trauma. Today, neurologists also use it to relieve migraine attacks and headaches. However, the effectiveness of the procedure is controversial.
