Abstract in brief

The study investigated whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could help improve core symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), like impulsivity, aggression, and emotional regulation.
The results showed that active tDCS significantly reduced impulsivity, aggression, and substance craving, with some marginal effects on decision-making; both treatment and placebo groups showed improvements in emotional regulation and mood symptoms.
The findings suggest that bilateral tDCS targeting the right prefrontal cortex may help improve key BPD symptoms by restoring prefrontal brain activity, potentially preventing self-harming behaviors.]
