The Future of PMDD Treatment: tDCS, Brain Stimulation & the Nettle Device
A new class of treatment is emerging for PMDD that doesn’t involve hormones or standard antidepressants: non-invasive brain stimulation. This blog explains how tDCS works, why it’s being explored for PMDD, what the UK trial of the Nettle device is aiming to show, and what this could mean for women in the UK.
