Abstract

The purpose is to present an updated review regarding the use of Neuromodulation in cases of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This is an integrative literature review, which includes criteria where articles were  available online, published in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Web of Science and National Library of Medicine (PubMed\Medline) and Virtual Health Library (BVS), and that portrayed the topic non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS). Seven articles were analyzed, all with positive outcomes, corroborating the functionality of the technique and explaining its difficulty in application in a clinical setting. It was found that there are several neuromodulation techniques being studied and used, with specificity for the applicability of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), which has been shown to be effective for the treatment of MDD. Neuromodulation is a subject that has been studied and published frequently in the international literature, but with little national repercussion, since only studies published in English were found.
