Key Points

This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in promoting weight loss among adults with obesity.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
Assessed various clinical trials involving tDCS and weight loss outcomes.
Analyzed data to determine the overall effect of tDCS on body weight reduction.
tDCS treatment contributes to significant body weight reduction compared to control groups.
The meta-analysis revealed an overall reduction in weight with tDCS, indicating its potential efficacy for weight loss.
Results highlighted variations in effectiveness based on specific trial conditions, such as stimulation parameters.

Systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates tDCS impact on weight loss in adults with obesity, suggesting a potential intervention.

To evaluate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on body weight loss in adults with obesity.
