Brain Stimulation Boosts OCD Treatment Effectiveness — SCIENMAG

In a groundbreaking randomized clinical trial set to ripple through the field of psychiatric treatment, researchers have revealed compelling evidence that combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with traditional exposure–response prevention therapy (ERP) significantly enhances outcomes for patients battling contamination-related obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD, a debilitating condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, has

2/4 How does it work? A small device is implanted in the brain, delivering electrical impulses to the GPi. The study found significant improvements in sleep quality for patients, especially those with left sensorimotor GPi stimulation. #BrainStimulation #Neurology
Imagine having a tiny messenger in your brain that helps your dopamine-producing neurons work better, allowing you to move and feel better. This is the promise of a new nanoparticle-based wireless deep brain stimulation system that has shown significant improvements in motor function and reduced symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease! #Parkinsons #Nanoparticles #BrainStimulation https://curedigest.com/science-news/parkinsons/a-nanoparticle-based-wireless-deep-brain-stimulation-system-that-reverses-parkinson-s-disease

I was a bit dubious about this study in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/science/article/2024/jun/16/electrical-brain-stimulation-tdcs-ease-heartbreak-love-trauma-syndrome, and now it's led me down a rabbit hole finding loads of papers that misused G*power and are consequently badly underpowered .
And the original 'brain stimulation eases hearbreak" paper is looking v problematic.
