Safety and feasibility of home-based transcranial alternating current stimulation in youths with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit and/or hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and schizophrenia are characterized by core impairment in executive functions (EF). Despite the development of various behavioral interventions to enhance EF, the evidence is still scarce. Alternatively, non-invasive brain stimulation tools such as transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has emerged as a potential strategy to alleviate cognitive deficits. Previous studies have demonstrated the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of one single tACS session in different clinical populations. However, the effects of tACS appear limited and need to be sustained to be considered an effective cognitive neurorehabilitation tool. Recent studies have used home-based, repeated tACS sessions in indiv
