Improved naming after transcranial direct current stimulation in aphasia. Commentaries
Stefano F. Cappa,Alessia Monti,Filippo Cogiamanian,Sara Marceglia,Roberta Ferrucci,F. Mameli,Simona Mrakic-Sposta,Maurizio Vergari,Stefano Zago +8 more
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%).

TL;DR: Work is ongoing to test whether the reliability and consistency of non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation can be improved by controlling or monitoring neuronal state and by optimizing the protocol and timing of stimulation.

Transcranial direct current stimulation in a patient with therapy-resistant major depression.
Ulrich Palm,Daniel Keeser,C. Schiller,Z. Fintescu,E. Reisinger,Thomas C. Baghai,Christoph Mulert,Frank Padberg +7 more
TL;DR: Though tDCS over 4 weeks did not exert clinically meaningful antidepressant effects in this case of therapy- resistant depression, the findings for cognitive measures and EEG suggest that beneficial effects may occur in depressed subjects and future studies need to further explore this approach also in therapy-resistant major depression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does trans-spinal direct current stimulation alter phrenic motoneurons and respiratory neuromechanical outputs in humans? A double-blind, sham-controlled, randomized, crossover study.
TL;DR: It is argued that tsDCS could induce sustained changes in PMN output and increase tidal volume after cathodal tsDCS opens up the perspective of harnessing respiratory neuroplasticity as a therapeutic tool for the management of several respiratory disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Administered Domiciliary tDCS Treatment for Tinnitus: A Double-Blind Sham-Controlled Study.
TL;DR: Self-administered domiciliary tDCS treatment for tinnitus was found safe and feasible and gave outcome results similar to recent randomized controlled long-term treatment trials, and the results suggest better overall treatment response—as measured by THI—with Domiciliary treatment than with in-hospital treatment.

Researchers' perspectives on scientific and ethical issues with transcranial direct current stimulation: an international survey
Kate Riggall,Cynthia Forlini,Adrian Carter,Wayne Hall,Megan Weier,Bradley Partridge,Marcus Meinzer +6 more
TL;DR: An international online survey targeting the opinions of researchers using tDCS who were asked to rate the technique’s efficacy in different contexts highlighted a number of emerging methodological and safety concerns, ethical challenges and the need for improved communication between researchers and bioethicists with regard to regulation of the device.

The role of intra-operative motor evoked potentials in the optimization of chronic cortical stimulation for the treatment of neuropathic pain
Jan Holsheimer,Jean-Pascal Lefaucheur,Jan R. Buitenweg,Colette Goujon,Amine Nineb,Jean-Paul Nguyen +5 more
TL;DR: Intra-operative MEP recordings can predict which electrode should be used as the cathode to obtain the best analgesic effect with chronic MCS, and monopolar stimulation should be applied in intra-operative neurophysiological testing.
