75th Annual NATA Clinical Symposia And Expo - Learning Lab FAQ: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Athletes and Athletic Trainers. What is tDCS? Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that uses a low electrical current, delivered via electrodes placed on the scalp, to modulate brain activity. This method aims to enhance cognitive and motor functions, making it a useful tool for both athletes...

Public interest regarding tDCS has recently surged, piquing the attention of athletes and researchers alike hoping to find relief in everyday activities (Schmerling, 2023). Originally used to treat brain injuries in medical environments, this brain stimulation therapy has many communities curious about the potential benefits it has to offer. Many studies show us promising results that can increase reaction times, strengthen your attention span, diminish feelings of fatigue, and more....
