Article Synopsis
- Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is gaining traction as a new treatment option for mental health issues, alongside traditional methods like medication and therapy.
- Current treatments for schizophrenia often fall short, especially for negative symptoms, which can severely impact daily functioning, highlighting the need for innovative approaches.
- Techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) are showing promise in improving cognitive and social deficits in schizophrenia by targeting disrupted brain networks.
Major depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders with a high rate of treatment resistance where new treatment options are urgently warranted. One of these new options are non-invasive brain stimulation techniques like transcranial magnetic or electric stimulation. One of the latter is transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) in various frequencies.

Another new technique is transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS). Here we report a series of three patient treated with twice-daily 10min prefrontal 40Hz tACS stimulation over ten days.

Neue nichtinvasive Hirnstimulationsverfahren könnten helfen, Zwangssymptome zu vermindern. In diesem Fallbericht wird die Behandlung einer Patientin mit Zwangsstörung dargestellt, die mit 10 transkraniellen Wechselstromstimulationen in Gamma-Frequenz (40 Hz) im Rahmen eines Heilversuchs behandelt wurde.
