Core Tip	Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a safe treatment modality in the management of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) in adolescents. Cathodal stimulation over the supplementary motor area produces insignificant improvement in severity of OCD than sham controls. The improvement following 10 sessions of tDCS is mostly short-lasting and usually goes off by 6 wk.
