Ítem Acceso Abierto Neuromodulación no invasiva como alternativa de tratamiento en adicción al alcohol.(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Aguirre Nasqui , Gilson; Gutiérrez Sangolquí , Erick; Cañizares Abril, Lauro; 1401059348; 0107288581Several biopsychosocial complications distinguish Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Data indicate a higher prevalence of two specific subtypes of AUD—with dependence (F10.2) and withdrawal (F10.3), both show a higher prevalence globally. This justifies the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. In this regard, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) offer a new treatment perspective for this condition. Objectives: To present systematically the theoretical support of TMS and tDCS as therapeutic alternatives in the treatment of AUD. Methodology: Literature review from the virtual library of the Catholic University of Cuenca, based on scientific databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Results: There are encouraging prospects for TMS since, to date, action potential activation protocols are used in a frequency range of 2.5 to 10 Hz, contributing to reducing compulsion and cravings. On the other hand, the tDCS protocol with a 2 mA current provides a decrease in craving for alcohol and adherence to psychotherapy. Conclusions: Scientific literature indicates that TMS and tDCS could have positive effects on Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). However, it is necessary to address new challenges using larger samples to obtain solid evidence of their long-term benefits.
