Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to evaluate the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS), Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC), and Children’s Global Assessment Scale (CGAS) after anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in individuals with autism.
Twenty patients with autism received 5 consecutive days of both sham and active tDCS stimulation (1 mA) in a randomized double-blind crossover trial over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3) for 20 minutes in different orders.
Measures of CARS, ATEC, and CGAS were administered before treatment and at 7 days posttreatment.
The result showed statistical decrease in CARS score (P<0.001).
ATEC total was decreased from 67.25 to 58 (P<0.001).
CGAS was increased at 7 days posttreatment (P=0.042).
Our study suggests that anodal tDCS over the F3 may be a useful clinical tool in autism.
