2021, International Review of NeurobiologyCitation 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.

2020, BurnsCitation 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 ResearchCitation 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).
