It is characterized by complex neurobiology, which includes changes in brain activity and neurotransmitter secretion. Existing treatments are moderately effective, and so the search for new therapies that are effective and safe is ongoing. Aim and Methods: This review examines the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the treatment of binge eating disorder. Searches were conducted on the PubMed\/Medline, Research Gate, and Cochrane databases. Results: Six studies were found that matched the review topic. All of them used the anodal stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in BED patients. tDCS proved effective in reducing food cravings, the desire to binge eat, the number of binging episodes, and food intake. It also improved the outcomes of inhibitory control and the treatment of eating disorder psychopathology. The potential mechanisms of action of tDCS in BED are explained, limitations in current research are outlined, and recommendations for future research are provided. Conclusions: Preliminary evidence suggests that the anodal application of tDCS to the right DLPFC reduces the symptoms of BED. However, caution should be exercised in the broader use of tDCS in this context due to the small number of studies performed and the small number of patients included. Future studies should incorporate neuroimaging and neurophysiological measurements to elucidate the potential mechanisms of action of tDCS in BED.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16101521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,17]],"date-time":"2024-05-17T12:02:23Z","timestamp":1715947343000},"page":"1521","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Binge Eating Disorder (BED)\u2014Review and Insight into the Mechanisms of Action"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"James","family":"Chmiel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Neurofeedback and tDCS Poland, 70-393 Szczecin, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6996-8920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Donata","family":"Kurpas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family and Pediatric Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, Wroc\u0142aw Medical University, 51-618 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filip","family":"Rybakowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department and Clinic of Psychiatry, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, 61-701 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerzy","family":"Leszek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department and Clinic of Psychiatry, Wroc\u0142aw Medical University, 54-235 Wroc\u0142aw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"182","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-023-00904-x","article-title":"The social epidemiology of binge-eating disorder and behaviors in early adolescents","volume":"11","author":"Nagata","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
