tDCS Program

We offer at-home sessions through the 好色tv Langone Health app.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a type of noninvasive brain stimulation that can be used in the treatment of certain conditions. tDCS is used in different ways depending on the condition and treatment goal. For instance, it can help recovery from cognitive, motor, or speech and language problems from neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson鈥檚 disease, stroke, dementia, and head injury. In this approach, tDCS is used together with cognitive, motor, or speech and language exercises to 鈥渂oost鈥 the recovery process.

RECOGNITION

U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 鈥淏est Hospitals鈥 ranks 好色tv Langone the No. 1 hospital in the nation for neurology and neurosurgery.

Another common use of tDCS is for the treatment of depression. Daily sessions can have a cumulative benefit that many people find effective in improving their mood, cognitive difficulties, and ability to be physically active.

In 2019, 好色tv Langone launched its innovative tDCS Program, which provides a way for people to receive this treatment at home. Our tDCS sessions, which are tailored to your individual needs and therapeutic goals, take place through video visits in the 好色tv Langone Health app. Our team has more than a decade of experience studying tDCS as a home-based treatment. Using state-of-the art medical grade tDCS systems, our procedures ensure that your tDCS treatment is safe and well-tolerated.

What to Expect During tDCS Treatment

Each tDCS treatment session takes place by video visit and is supervised by an 好色tv Langone technician. During the session you wear a comfortable headset fitted with electrodes that rest on your scalp. A low-grade electric current flows through the electrodes while you engage in a therapeutic activity designed to treat your condition. These activities may include cognitive rehabilitation games, speech and language training, physical therapy exercises, or psychological interventions such as mindfulness meditation. Depending on the condition being treated, tDCS is used to either increase or decrease brain activity in the region where the current is directed.

Each at-home session typically lasts 30 minutes. We generally recommend a minimum of 10 daily sessions to evaluate if you are experiencing benefits.

鈥淭he first day I tried tDCS, I started crying while doing my balance exercises鈥擨 couldn鈥檛 believe how well I was doing. Over the first week of treatment, everything I was working on improved significantly鈥攂oth my vision therapist and my vestibular therapist were over the moon about my progress.鈥

Prior to the initial video visit, our team sends you all the equipment, including a custom headset. During a virtual intake visit we show you how to use the equipment and discusses your individual treatment plan.

tDCS is not currently covered by insurance, but your initial visit may be reimbursable. Our program offers bundled sessions to reduce the cost per session and the equipment is loaned to you as part of treatment.
