Summary: There was no significant short-term effect of tDCS alone on motor function, balance, gait, dyskinesias, or motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease, regardless of brain area or the number of stimulated targets.

Summary: The systematic review found that the combination of tDCS with RT did not improve upper limb function, strength, spasticity, functional independence, or velocity of movement after stroke. However, tDCS may enhance the effects of RT alone for lower limb function.

Summary: This study compared the effects of anodal stimulation targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and left superior temporal sulcus (STS) in patients with schizophrenia on daily-living skills, neurocognition, and psychotic symptoms. The results showed that anodal stimulation of the left DLPFC improved higher level functional outcomes and neurocognition, while stimulation of the STS had a smaller effect.

Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain neuromodulation technique, has shown potential in treating anorexia nervosa (AN). Studies have demonstrated that tDCS stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can improve AN clinical symptoms, alter eating behavior, body weight, food intake, and reduce depression symptoms.

Summary: This review discusses the application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in treating cocaine addiction. The results indicate that applying tDCS to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) holds promise for reducing drug cravings in individuals with cocaine addiction.

Summary: Ten sessions of tDCS can improve insight into illness in patients with schizophrenia, with age and baseline G12 score as significant moderators.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of individualized HD-tDCS on memory performance in AD patients, finding that different montages were optimal for individual patients. The active HD-tDCS group showed significant improvements in delayed memory compared to the sham group, with a significant positive correlation between specific brain structures and memory performance.

Summary: The study introduced a dose-target determination index (DTDI) to quantify the focality of tDCS and found that individuals of different ages and genders show varying changes in focality when the current dose is increased. The nonlinear relationship between the injected tDCS current and the distribution of current density in the target ROI is predominant in older adults, with males exhibiting a stronger decline in focality. Higher current doses in older age can enhance the focality of stimulation.

Summary: Repeated tDCS treatment over a period of 4 weeks or more is effective in reducing migraine pain intensity and duration of migraine episode, with benefits persisting for at least 4 weeks after treatment completion. Both anodal and cathodal stimulation are effective for reducing migraine pain intensity.

Summary: This systematic review summarizes the current state-of-the-art on the effects of tDCS for gait rehabilitation in stroke subjects. The results highlight the potential of tDCS to contribute to gait recovery following stroke, but also emphasize the urgent need to improve current stimulation strategies and subject-customized interventions.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the effects of multi-session transcranial direct current stimulation on the superior temporal sulcus in improving social cognition deficits in patients with schizophrenia. The efficacy and safety will be evaluated through various measures including the Social Cognition Screening Questionnaire.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of multisession tDCS targeting the superior temporal sulcus (STS) on social cognitive performance in patients with schizophrenia. The results showed significant improvements in theory of mind after multisession tDCS, which were not correlated with neurocognition or psychotic symptoms. The study also demonstrated the safety of tDCS with no serious adverse events.

Summary: Research indicates that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may be helpful in improving emotional processing deficits and related symptoms in patients with psychosis and depression. Despite limited understanding of this area currently, further investigation into the efficacy of tDCS should be pursued to identify more effective interventions.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of spaced tDCS in patients with drug resistant focal epilepsy, demonstrating significant reductions in IEDs and seizure frequency. The spaced stimulation approach showed promising therapeutic potential and was well-tolerated across different types of epilepsies.

Summary: In this study, the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on chronic subjective tinnitus were investigated. The results showed that dual-site sequential high-definition tDCS did not alleviate tinnitus severity. However, Tinnitus Functional Index scores decreased more significantly in males and subjects with baseline symptoms of anxiety.
