Clinical Applications of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

- In this talk at the Summit on Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) at the UC-Davis Center for Mind & Brain, Dr. Roy Hamilton, Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania, discusses a range of clinical applications of the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) technique.
It would be a tremendous help if UCD provided links to all these studies
Is it possible for me to get hands on that ppt?
Years ago, I helped (in a hospital setting) treat patients with depression with ECT. Was this just "grandfathered in"? I could see some improvements.... but the side effects were great.
What were the side effects?
No. ECt is the most effective treatment for depression -by far.
tDCS is lower voltage and you generally won't have additional visits. You'll be doing more sessions over time (~21-31 visits) similar to other, similar Neurofeedback treatments, but there's no ''reupping'' like there is with ECT. ECT is barbaric by comparison.
@@yoavhal6050 well.... long term. idk. yes by stimulating the brain up neurogenesis with electricity seems like some batshit crazy idea from the Frankenstein era. it seems that way because it is. seeing someone undergo ECT and observing over long periods. its 'effective' enough. but never do it so someone gifted, or loved. finally a hundred years after the the first brain zap, and lobotomy (also very effective) we are becoming more nuanced. i would argue lobotomy was more 'effective'. if you remove enough PFC there will be no more depression. ECT is so 1858.
;)
@@futureproof.healthwhat's more- there's a strange phaenomena - the chances of getting complete remission will increase (!) When the patient is old and frail. I have seen those elderly depressed patients , cruelly medicated by heartless health "professionals" for "delirium" - a common practice is treating them with antipsychotics to alleviate their psychomotor irritability (and actually to make it easier for the stuff)
When I had the opportunity, I weaned the from those "pill mill" (which often involved,in addition, tricyclics and /or remeron). Then I referred them to a psychiatrist who "conspired" with me+an experienced anesthesiologist (whose role is of extreme importance for ECT to succeed with minimal electrical charge being used!)
I have done it 3 times -of the 3 patients , 2 were with complete remission (1 after 2 ECT sessions, the second patient was with good response but became asymptomatic at the 3rd week.
The 3rd patient was responding well but her family decided to get the consulting psychiatrist recommendations (he came back from his vacation and was disturbingly unheppy with the results )-and the patient ECT sessions were halted-and instead she was again, medicated with similar medications and rapidly deteriorated to almost katatonic state.
again, one can not overemphasize the importance of experienced anesthesiologist familiar with ECT- as the sedative and anesthetics type and doze +their timing has a profound effect on the procedure's outcomes.
Propofol, popular agent used for induction is a potent anticonvulsant. So using it with ECT must be ofset by much higher energy( more accurately - electrical charge) to be used, which dramatically increases the memory problems around the treatment ( in contrast with ketamine, which, besides being a potent antidepressant by itself, is pro-convulsive..).
Cost for parts! Less than $10 dollars. LM334 is a programmable IC to limit the current.
There seems to be a correlation. But how does electricity actually affect the brain? I have anxiety and panic disorder. Will this treatment help for there disorders? Any longterm side effects found?

Jose Fuentes try this cheaper safe treatment. Take 2 aaa batteries. Place one positive end first in left ear canal. Second battery flat end first in right ear canal. All the ay n nit touching ear drum. Remove after 5 minutes. At your own risk please. Do as needed for depression.
The concept of tDCS on a low hz can stimulate the cells responsible for your brainwaves going from one wave state to another, helping you become emotionally regulated, and helping with tasks. Look into Mark Smith in NYC and Infraslow treatment. It's slightly different terminology, but the same 'concept'. It is using DC amplifiers on a specific spot on the brain for several treatments.
Not knowing a lot. I think you should look into cathodal treatment of fear centers of the brain. For instance amygdala.
Anodal would excite an area of the brain where cathodal would reduce stimulation of fear centers of the brain such as amygdala where anxiety and fear comes from.
Also you can try meditation to holistically slow these parts of your brain down, which is a much more tried and true method of reducing anxiety.
I am not a doctor, just giving you some information to go off of for research.
My dad REALLY NEEDS this !! Where can I get him one?
there are videos on youtube on how to build one yourself for around 20 dollars.
--->Proceed with Caution!

What state are you in??
What is the promise (as of today 2023) that this would help an older teenage boy recently diagnosed with Schizophrenia? Was always a high achieving honor student & played sports. Seeking help & HOPE in a non (heavily dosed) pharmaceutical treatment plan. Thank you for PLEASE ANSWERiNG...
Check out the work of Dr Robert Melillo. He's best known for his work with autism and ADHD. Schizophrenia tends to involve a relative over-activity of the left cerebral hemisphere, which has overlaps. A comprehensive approach, which might include tDCS, could be helpful.
So the cathode isn't always inhibitor?
What's hilarious is the young kid who started and runs the Brain Stimulator company begun his business after making his own machines for ebay. All on tDCS.
i know I'm kind of off topic but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
I just got one and it feels like a mild burning on your skin and some throbbing.
what is the best montage for ADHD?
There's a montage for that Google tdcs and the first website will give you a list of different application for different applications
@@uponthefact9924 I never found anything relevant.

he is tiny and in the corner
hmm prices from $100 to $1000
or maybe radio shack $30 L
Good luck regulating intensity and not frying your brain. Or getting nothing at all.
Oops...I must be on the wrong web page...was looking for Clown World...
nothing would work on the bully in chief, that guy is really a bad person with lots of money but no class at all!
