This study explored the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) over the pre-supplementary (pre-SMA) in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In a double-blind, cross over study, 49 patients received active and sham tDCS. A significant decrease in rsFC was observed following tDCS, revealing hypoconnectivity from the right- SMA, M1 and IFG to distant brain regions including somatosensory and visual areas. These findings suggest tDCS can modulate rsFC in OCD, indicating potential therapeutic mechanisms.
