First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can boost the effects of cognitive training to help veterans with obesity become less impulsive and lose weight. About 124 veterans will receive either real or fake tDCS while doing computer-based training. The goal is to see if this combination leads to better weight loss and self-control.
