Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) remains experimental for many psychiatric disorders in adults. Particularly in childhood, there is limited research on the evidence for the efficacy and mechanisms of action of tDCS on the developing brain. The objective of this review is to identify published experimental studies to examine the efficacy and mechanisms of tDCS in children with psychiatric or developmental disorders in early (prepubertal) childhood (aged under 10 years).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease. At present, there are currently no drugs that can cure AD.
Objective: A number of empirical studies have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be used to treat cognitive abnormalities in patients with AD.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Background: To investigate the effects of 40 Hz high‐definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (HD‐tACS) on subjective sleep quality and domain‐specific cognitive functions in mild neurocognitive disorders due to Alzheimer’s disease (NCD‐AD).
Method: This study was a double blind, sham‐controlled randomized clinical trial. Ninety‐nine mild NCD‐AD patients were randomly assigned to receive a 4‐week course treatment of either 40 Hz HD‐tACS, HD transcranial direct current stimulation (HD‐tDCS), or sham transcranial current stimulation (HD‐tCS).

Applied Medical Sciences, Misr University for Science and Technology, Cairo, Egypt
Background: Gamma desynchronization is an early pathophysiological event in Alzheimer’s disease with a disturbance in oscillation in the gamma frequency range 30‐80 Hz. This disruption was found to be directly related to the disease progression and severity. Thus, the use of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) possessed greater interest.

Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew SeniorLife, Boston, MA, USA
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects over 55 million people worldwide and is characterized by abnormal deposition of amyloid‐β and tau in the brain causing neuronal damage and disrupting transmission within brain circuits. Episodic memory loss, executive deficits, and depression are common symptoms arising from altered function in spatially distinct brain circuits that greatly contribute to disability. Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can target these circuits and has shown promise to relieve specific symptoms.
