Home-based Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) for the Management of Psychiatric Disorders: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique increasingly recognized for its therapeutic potential in psychiatric disorders. Recent advances have enabled its administration in home settings, potentially increasing accessibility, reducing costs, and overcoming logistical barriers to in-clinic care.
