Mindfulness augmentation for anxiety through concurrent use of transcranial direct current stimulation: a randomized double-blind study
Abstract Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have revealed the capability to augment various types of behavioural interventions. We aimed to augment the effects of mindfulness, suggested for reducing anxiety, with concurrent use of tDCS. We conducted a double-blind randomized study with 5...
