Journal ArticleDOI
Transcranial direct current stimulation: State of the art 2008
Michael A. Nitsche,Leonardo G. Cohen,Eric M. Wassermann,Alberto Priori,Nicolas Lang,Andrea Antal,Walter Paulus,Friedhelm C. Hummel,Paulo S. Boggio,Felipe Fregni,Alvaro Pascual-Leone +10 more
TL;DR: An overview of the state of the art for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is offered, which suggests that it can induce beneficial effects in brain disorders and facilitate and standardize future tDCS studies.

Noninvasive cortical stimulation enhances motor skill acquisition over multiple days through an effect on consolidation
Janine Reis,Heidi M. Schambra,Leonardo G. Cohen,Ethan R. Buch,Brita Fritsch,Brita Fritsch,Eric Zarahn,Pablo Celnik,John W. Krakauer +8 more
TL;DR: Findings support the existence of a consolidation mechanism, susceptible to anodal tDCS, which contributes to offline effects but not to online effects or long-term retention, and may hold promise for the rehabilitation of brain injury.

Clinical research with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): Challenges and future directions
Andre R. Brunoni,Michael A. Nitsche,Nadia Bolognini,Marom Bikson,Tim Wagner,Lotfi B. Merabet,Dylan J. Edwards,Antoni Valero-Cabré,Alexander Rotenberg,Alvaro Pascual-Leone,Roberta Ferrucci,Alberto Priori,Paulo S. Boggio,Felipe Fregni +13 more
TL;DR: A workgroup of researchers in the field was convened to review, discuss, and provide updates and key challenges of tDCS use in clinical research, and some alternative methods to facilitate clinical research on tDCS are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety aspects of transcranial direct current stimulation concerning healthy subjects and patients
TL;DR: The results suggest that tDCS applied to motor and non-motor areas according to the present tDCS safety guidelines, is associated with relatively minor adverse effects in healthy humans and patients with varying neurological disorders.

Empirical evidence of bias. Dimensions of methodological quality associated with estimates of treatment effects in controlled trials.
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that inadequate methodological approaches in controlled trials, particularly those representing poor allocation concealment, are associated with bias.

Risk and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: report and suggested guidelines from the International Workshop on the Safety of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, June 5–7, 1996
TL;DR: The guidelines for the use of rTMS cover the ethical issues, recommended limits on stimulation parameters, monitoring of subjects (both physiologically and neuropsychologically), expertise and function of the rT MS team, medical and psychosocial management of induced seizures, and contra-indications to r TMS.

Sustained excitability elevations induced by transcranial DC motor cortex stimulation in humans
Michael A. Nitsche,Walter Paulus +1 more
TL;DR: The authors show that in the human transcranial direct current stimulation is able to induce sustained cortical excitability elevations, and this technique is a potentially valuable tool in neuroplasticity modulation.
