最近德国Lübeck大学的研究人员在美国《临床营养学》发表了一篇文章给肥胖患者提供一个另类减肥法。 研究表明经颅直流电刺激仪tDCS有利于降低食欲，减少食物的摄取。实验中14名正常体重的年轻人作为研究对象，分刺激和假刺激两组，经过一周的经颅直流电刺激治疗，结果表明经颅直流电刺激仪可减少卡路里的摄取，降低食欲。在不久的将来，肥胖的人很可能在不知不觉中降低体重。
Another study of the University of Lübeck,Germany, assessed the effect of tDCS onappetite and food intake regulation. 14healthy young men with normal weight participatedin this study. After one week ofdaily tDCS or sham stimulation the experimentalgroup showed a reduced overallcaloric intake and less appetite than the controlgroup. This might be a promising optionfor the future treatment of overweight andadiposity.The study was financed by the DFG(GermanResearch Foundation) and has recentlybeen published in the American Journal ofClinical Nutrition.
