Estimulação Transcraniana por Corrente Contínua no Autismo: Uma Revisão Sistemática
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O transtorno do espectro autista (TEA) é caracterizado por apresentar prejuízos nas interações sociais, limitações nos comportamentos de comunicação, além de alterações comportamentais de interesses. Devido a sua complexa fisiopatologia, é imprescindível a existência de biomarcadores válidos e confiáveis para um diagnóstico e tratamento eficaz, objetivando a melhora da sintomática. A estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua (ETCC), uma das formas de estimulação não-invasiva mais utilizadas, apresenta-se como uma técnica promissora com potenciais diagnóstico e terapêutico. Usando a metodologia PRISMA, realizamos uma revisão da contribuição e evidência científica para o uso da ETCC no TEA. Entre 43 artigos, foram identificados seis estudos relevantes. Os dados preliminares sugerem melhora nos sintomas comportamentais e cognitivos do TEA. Todavia, apesar da eficácia da ETCC, algumas divergências metodológicas foram observadas entre os artigos, trazendo a necessidade da realização de mais estudos bem desenhados e controlados para confirmar potencialidade real da ETCC no TEA.
