Abstract

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has already been proven to be an effective modality in substance use disorder (SUD), often targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex bilaterally. However, addiction is a very broad concept, comprising many different neurocognitive defects.

To better guide and investigate the potential benefits of tDCS for people who suffer from SUD, we shall take a transdiagnostic approach to SUD to see which other targets for tDCS might lead to additional clinical use, paving the way for personalised neurostimulation.
