An exciting therapy option for Parkinson’s disease is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a type of noninvasive brain stimulation. In arecently published study inJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, Dr. Leigh Charvet and colleagues trialed this stimulation method in home settings with remote supervision from technicians.
