Low intensity transcranial electric stimulation: Safety, ethical, legal regulatory and application guidelines

TL;DR: A team of transcranial direct current stimulation experts conducted a systematic review of clinical trials with more than 1 session of stimulation testing, finding some of the indications analyzed in this review can be considered as definitely effective and probably effective.

TL;DR: This consensus paper brings together experts from different fields to discuss recent efforts in understanding the role of the cerebellum in social cognition, and the understanding of social behaviors and mental states by others, its effect on clinical impairments such as cerebellar ataxia and autism spectrum disorder, and how the Cerebellum can become a potential target for noninvasive brain stimulation as a therapeutic intervention.

TL;DR: The goal of this effort is to provide the community with guidelines for best practices in tES/TMS SUD research, and to accelerate the speed at which the community translates basic neuroscience into advanced neuromodulation tools for clinical practice in addiction medicine.

TL;DR: An overview of current methodological opportunities and pitfalls for assessing stroke-induced changes and reorganization in the human brain and principles of plasticity after stroke that have emerged from the assessment of networks are given.

TL;DR: Adding tDCS with uni-lateral and three-dimensional RT for the impaired UL in people with sub-acute and chronic stroke did not result in an additional effect on UL impairment in stroke.

TL;DR: The results suggest a potentially beneficial effect of noninvasive cortical stimulation during rehabilitative motor training of patients who have suffered from subacute strokes.

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the role of Wernicke's area in language comprehension and the therapeutic effect that cathodal tDCS has on aphasic patients with subacute stroke, suggesting that tDCS may be an adjuvant treatment approach for aphasia rehabilitation therapy in patients in an early stage of stroke.

TL;DR: It was found that repeated anodal tDCS in 1 patient did not lead to skin lesions when applied over a vitiligo skin area, and continuous assessment and reporting of local adverse effects are still warranted especially in conditions with increased risk of skin lesions such as in dermatologic conditions, skin burns, and previous skin damage.
