The Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Over the Prefrontal Cortex on Reactive Aggressive Behavior in Healthy Volunteers: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
While the overall analysis did not show a significant effect of anodal on reactive aggressive behavior in healthy volunteers, the results suggest that online tDCS and unilateral tDCS may have a potential impact. Given the heterogeneity of the studies and outcome measures, further research is needed to confirm these findings and better understand the role of tDCS in modulating reactive aggressive behavior.
