• Shaping the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation of the human motor cortex. (2007, background): “…relevant because they modify perception as well as cognition in healthy subjects (Antal et al. 2001, 2004a,b,c; Matsunaga et al. 2004; Nitsche et al. 2003) and were shown to improve clinical symptoms in patients with neuropsychiatric diseases (Fregni et al. 2005b, 2006a,b,c; Hummel et al. 2005).”
• tDCS-enhanced motor and cognitive function in neurological diseases (2014, neutral): “…N = 50 Randomized controlled betweensubject study NIHSS score, FMS atDCS, ipsilesional M1, daily over 5 subsequent days 2 mA, 20 min No improvement (Fregni et al., 2005; Hummel et al., 2005) Chronic stroke UE motor function N = 6 Randomized controlled cross over JTT ctDCS over ipsilesional M1 vs…”
• A sham‐controlled, phase II trial of transcranial direct current stimulation for the treatment of central pain in traumatic spinal cord injury (2006, methodology): “Evaluation of safety was an important aim of the trial as previous safety studies of tDCS evaluated the effects of only one session of 2 mA in healthy volunteers or several sessions of 1 mA tDCS in patients with major depression (Fregni et al., 2005a; Iyer et al., 2005).”
• Transcranial direct current stimulation: A computer-based human model study (2007, methodology): “…research (Nitsche and Paulus, 2001; Antal et al., 2003) and for the treatment and assessment of various neurological and psychiatric disorders (Fregni et al., 2005a, 2006a,b; Nitsche, 2002). tDCS saw a similar increase in interest in the 1960s (Bindman et al., 1964; Purpura and McMurtry,…”
• Functional potential in chronic stroke patients depends on corticospinal tract integrity. (2006, background): “Priming the ipsilesional cortex, as an adjuvant therapy, may improve functional outcomes in this group (Stefan et al., 2000; Stinear and Byblow, 2004b; Fregni et al., 2005; Huang et al., 2005; Hummel et al., 2005; Khedr et al., 2005; Mansur et al., 2005; Takeuchi et al., 2005; Smith and Staines, 200”
• Transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS): a tool for double-blind sham-controlled clinical studies in brain stimulation. (2006, background): “…Nitsche et al., 2003a) and transiently enhances motor performance in patients with chronic stroke (Hummel et al., 2005a; Hummel and Cohen, 2005; Fregni et al., 2005b). tDCS can be applied continuously and safely for up to 30 min (Hummel et al., 2005a; Iyer et al., 2005; Nitsche et al., 2005),…”
• Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on working memory in patients with Parkinson's disease (2006, methodology): “For such condition, the electrodes were placed at the same position as the LDLPFC stimulation; however, the current intensity was gradually decreased after 20 s, being then turned off after 30 s (ramp down of 10 s) as previously described [30].”
