Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Study on ADHD Individuals

A study from the Journal of Experimental Brain Research focused on the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive performance in individuals with ADHD. The researchers aimed to assess cognitive control enhancement using this method and compared pre and post-treatment performance on cognitive inhibition tasks. Despite the expectations, the study did not find significant improvements in cognitive function after the stimulation, indicating the need for further research in this area.

Hi, and welcome back to the ADHD Skills Lab!

This week, join Skye and me as we explore some cutting-edge research on tCDS treatment and stress proteins. Spoiler alert: the findings weren't quite what the researchers expected.

What happens when research doesn't find what it's looking for? Well, in some cases, the papers readability gets a bit murky. It turns out, we're still on the hunt for clear answers on treatments many folks are already trying out.

Join us as we break down the complex jargon and dig into the methodology and limitations of these studies to get to the heart of their real-world implications.

Thanks for being here,
