  • Non-invasive cortical stimulation: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)

    2021, International Review of Neurobiology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Accordingly, the association of the events to the tDCS sessions were deemed to be coincidental by the investigators. Skin lesions under the electrode after a tDCS session have been occasionally reported by several clinical trials, typically on the forehead or over frontal cortical areas (Frank et al., 2010; Lu & Lam, 2019; Palm et al., 2008; Rodríguez, Opisso, Pascual-Leone, & Soler, 2014). TDCS parameters were similar among the studies (2 mA and electrode area of 35 cm2), with the exception that one trial used a lower intensity of 1.5 mA.

  • Direct current electrical injuries: A systematic review of case reports and case series

    2020, Burns
    Citation Excerpt :

    Overall, 16 patients were described in the included case reports; details on age and gender were largely missing (Table 4). Most patients (n = 13) were treated with tDCS [41–44]. Barkana et al. [45] reported two cases of burns caused by the inappropriate use of electrodes of an electromagnetic radiation detector and an electrical massage device, respectively.

  • Tolerance of transcranial direct current stimulation in psychiatric disorders: An analysis of 2000+ sessions

    2020, Psychiatry Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    Several studies defining the safety criteria and parameters for tDCS administration have facilitated its application as an investigative as well as therapeutic neuromodulatory technique (Antal et al., 2017; Bikson et al., 2009; Brunoni et al., 2011; Eryılmaz et al., 2014; Iyer et al., 2005; Jackson et al., 2017; Liebetanz et al., 2009; Nitsche et al., 2003; Paneri et al., 2016). The aforementioned studies are based on either single session or multi-session case series (Brunoni et al., 2011; Iyer et al., 2005) (Palm et al., 2008; Rodriguez et al., 2014). Recently, two publications have reported tDCS to be safely administrable even during prolonged treatment varying from more than a week to years (Andrade, 2013; Eryılmaz et al., 2014).
