Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation method. tDCS treatment is applied by transmitting direct current between anode and cathode electrodes that are located over the head. Due to tDCS treatment is cheap and noninvasive method, a growing amount of research has been carried out on its effectiveness and application areas in the last decade. It has started to be applied at the neuropsychiatric diseases beside motor cortex stimulation. In this review, the purpose is to discuss application methods, application areas and probable mechanism of action. Key words: transcranial direct current stimulation, brain stimulation, neuromodulation Transkraniyal dogru akim tedavisi (tDCS) noninvaziv bir beyin uyarim yontemidir. tDCS tedavisi, kafatasina yerlestirilen anot ve katot elektrotlari arasindan dogru akim gecirilerek uygulanan bir tedavi yontemidir. tDCS uygulamasinin noninvaziv ve ucuz bir yontem olmasi nedeni ile son 10 yilda giderek artan bir sekilde, etkinlik ve uygulama alanlari ile ilgili arastirmalar yapilmaktadir. Motor korteks uyariminin yani sira, noropsikiyatrik hastaliklarda da uygulanmaya baslamistir. Bu gozden gecirme yazisinin amaci, tDCS tedavisinin uygulama sekli, uygulama alanlari, olasi etki duzeneklerini tartismaktir.
