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%).

High-Definition and Non-invasive Brain Modulation of Pain and Motor Dysfunction in Chronic TMD

TL;DR: Putative M1 stimulation by HD-tDCS selectively improved meaningful clinical sensory-discriminative pain and motor measures during stimulation, and up to four-weeks post-treatment in chronic myofascial TMD pain patients.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) reduces postsurgical opioid consumption in total knee arthroplasty (TKA)

TL;DR: Results from this pilot feasibility study suggest that tDCS may be able to reduce post-TKA opioid requirements, and the data support further research in the area of adjunctive cortical stimulation in the management of postsurgical pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of Broca's area in chronic aphasia: a controlled outcome study

TL;DR: The overall results suggest that in chronic aphasic patients the off-line tDCS protocol applied in this study is not effective in improving noun and verb naming abilities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Applying anodal tDCS during tango dancing in a patient with Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that tDCS may be a useful adjunct to gait rehabilitation for patients with PD, although studies in a larger group of patients are needed to evaluate the therapeutic use of non-invasive brain stimulation during dance therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease: Current concepts and outlook 2015.

TL;DR: Most trials of non-invasive brain stimulation in PD have applied repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the primary motor cortex and cortical areas of the motor circuit, but clinical effects so far have been small and negligible regarding functional independence and quality of life.
