Do Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Direct Current Stimulation help people with autism? The latest science here.

About this episode

The episode discusses the efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation as treatments for autism.

Two therapies that are meant to alter brainwave activity, called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation are receiving a lot of attention for potential efficacy in treating autism. They are non-invasive, which means treatment is provided on the scalp. While results vary, the overall evidence does not support these two interventions in helping … Continue reading "Do Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Direct Current Stimulation help people with autism?
