Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). (2017, background): “Adverse effects are limited to mild headache or local sensory discomfort (Poreisz et al., 2007; Brunoni et al., 2011; McFadden et al., 2011; Kessler et al., 2012).”
Low intensity transcranial electric stimulation: Safety, ethical, legal regulatory and application guidelines (2017, background): “A review of 209 tDCS studies (Brunoni et al. , 2011a) described the primary MAEs as itching (active vs. sham tDCS group: 39.3% vs. 32.9%), tingling (22.2% vs. 18.3%), headache (14.8% vs. 16.2%), burning sensations (8.7% vs. 10”
A technical guide to tDCS, and related non-invasive brain stimulation tools (2015, background): “…adherence to established tDCS protocols, operator training, and use of certified devices, teams of clinical trial researchers have reported application of thousands of tDCS sessions without any skin injury (Brunoni et al., 2011b, 2013b; Kalu et al., 2012; Loo et al., 2012; Fertonani et al., 2015).”
Stimulating Creativity: Modulation of Convergent and Divergent Thinking by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) (2015, methodology): “All participants completed the sessions without major complains or discomfort as measured by the tDCS Adverse Effects Questionnaire (Brunoni et al., 2011).”
