Resumo: | Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by deficits in social interactions, language and communication impairment, and highly restrictive behavioral interests. Due to its complex physiopathology, it is essential to have valid and reliable biomarkers for an effective diagnosis and treatment, aiming at the improvement of the symptomatic. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), one of the most widely used forms of non-invasive stimulation, may represent a promising technique with both diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Using the PRISMA methodology, we conducted a review of the contribution and scientific evidence for the use of tDCS in ASD. Out of 43 references, we identified six relevant studies. Preliminary data suggest an improvement in the behavioral and cognitive symptoms of ASD. However, despite the efficacy of tDCS, some methodological divergences were observed among the studies, leading to the need for well-designed and controlled studies to confirm the true potential of tDCS in ASD.Keywords: non-invasive brain stimulation; transcranial direct current stimulation; autism; autism spectrum disorder; systematic review. |

El trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) es caracterizado por déficits persistentes en comunicación social, deterioro en el lenguaje y la comunicación, y patrones de comportamiento repetitivos. Debido su carácter complejo, es importante conocer los marcadores válidos para el diagnóstico y tratamiento eficaz, mejorando los síntomas. La estimulación transcraneal con corriente directa (tDCS en inglés) es una nova técnica que es una herramienta terapéutica y diagnóstica muy prometedora. Utilizando las directrices PRISMA, se realizó una revisión para ver la evidencia científica para el uso de tDCS en TEA. De los 43 artículos, se identificaron seis estudios potenciales. Los datos preliminares sugieren una mejora en los síntomas conductuales y cognitivos del TEA. Sin embargo, a pesar de la eficacia de tDCS, algunas divergencias metodológicas se observaron entre los estudios, lo que lleva a la necesidad de estudios bien diseñados y controlados para confirmar el verdadero potencial de tDCS en TEA.Palabras clave: estimulación transcraneal de corriente continua; neuromodulación; autismo; trastorno de espectro autista, revisión sistemática.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.Palavras-chave: estimulação cerebral; neuromodulação; transtorno autístico; autismo; revisão sistemática.Editora Mackenzie2017-07-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://editorarevistas.mackenzie.br/index.php/ptp/article/view/10494Journal Psychology: Theory and Practice ; Vol. 19 No. 1 (2017)Revista Psicologia: Teoría y Práctica; Vol. 19 Núm. 1 (2017)Revista Psicologia: Teoria e Prática; v. 19 n. 1 (2017)1980-69061516-3687reponame:Psicologia (Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie.
