Improved naming after transcranial direct current stimulation in aphasia. Commentaries

TL;DR: Whereas anodal and sham tDCS failed to induce any changes, cathodal tDCS significantly improved the accuracy of the picture naming task by a mean of 33.6% (SEM 13.8%).

Effects of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) on affect, pain and attention in multiple sclerosis.

TL;DR: TRNS showed a trend to decrease the N2-P2 amplitudes of pain related evoked potentials and improve pain ratings, which suggests the role of tRNS in pain modulation, which could have been more evident with longer stimulation protocols.

Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on naming and cortical excitability in stroke patients with aphasia.

TL;DR: It is revealed that A-tDCS over the left PPR coupled with speech-language therapy can improve picture naming and auditory comprehension in aphasic patients and tDCS not only modulates activity in the brain region directly underlying the stimulating electrode but also in a network of brain regions that are function-related.

Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of Function in Patients with Stroke

TL;DR: Findings suggest that tDCS may be more beneficial than functional training for improving the upper and lower limb functions of chronic stroke patients.
