tDCS
tDCS - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
It is a brain stimulation modulation technique.The treatment allows, without pain or annoyance for the patient, a good percentage in favor of symptom improvement.
tDCS has a distinct advantage in it’s non-invasive, painless, and simple manner of use. Recent studies show therapeutic potential in the following areas:
- Resistant Depression
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Post-stroke rehabilitation
- Pain
- Insomnia

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been approved for the treatment of resistant depression in Canada and has also received approval in the United States from the Food and Drug Administration.
The team at the Institute of Neurosciences guarantees an initial diagnostic evaluation, application of the stimulation protocol, treatment under the supervision of a specialized doctor, and follow-up after the first cycle of the treatment.

ADHD
ADHD is the acronym of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, known in Italy as “Disturbo da Deficit di Attenzione e Iperattività.” This refers to a childhood-onset neuro-biological disorder, characterized by persistent, sharp, maladaptive levels of inattention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity, which are inappropriate, with respect to age.
For a long time it was believed that ADHD was a disorder characterized exclusively in adulthood, but scientific evidence has instead shown how this tends to persist through the course of life in up to 85% of cases (Barkley et al. 2008; Kessler et al., 2006), causing significant difficulties.
