tDCS With Cognitive Training to Reduce Impulsivity and Weight in Veterans With Obesity
Sponsor: VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase the effectiveness of cognitive training to reduce impulsivity in individuals with obesity, and to evaluate weight change with these individuals. The long-term goal of this research is to develop new treatment approaches for individuals with obesity.
