Resumen
Introducción: En esta revisión bibliográfica teórica, hablaremos sobre el desarrollo y
descubrimiento de la técnica de estimulación transcraneal continua como tratamiento para el
trastorno depresivo mayor. Metodología: En las investigaciones revisadas, basándonos
principalmente en las bases de datos de PsycInfo y Scopus, hemos encontrado los principales
hallazgos clínicos referentes a tDCS, desde la mejora en la sintomatología depresiva, hasta la
influencia del cambio del montaje de los electrodos en el tratamiento, así como algunos beneficios
adicionales. Finalmente se han revisado estudios que han analizado si el tratamiento de depresión
mayor con tDCS mejora o no junto con antidepresivos .Conclusiones: tDCS ha demostrado ser,
en base a la bibliografía revisada, una potencial alternativa o complemento para el tratamiento en
depresión, ya que ha demostrado tener efectos terapéuticos, y ser un perfecto acompañamiento al
tratamiento farmacológico
