“…Hyvärinen et al conducted an RCT on the treatment of tinnitus in 43 patients and found an improvement of tinnitus in both active and sham groups with no significant difference between them. Kasschau et al included 20 multiple sclerosis patients in an open‐label study with ten tDCS sessions and concomitant cognitive training. This trial was explicitly designed for testing feasibility of remotely supervised tDCS and did not report on clinical results.…”

“…Apart from this, side effects of tDCS in the analyzed studies do not exceed the well‐known sensations of itching, tingling, burning, transient headache, etc. , and probably do not influence adherence rates as patients did not report tDCS as uncomfortable. However, drop‐out rates obviously depend from correct and comprehensive training prior to self‐administration of tDCS.…”

“…It remains unclear whether continuous long-term treatment with tDCS will generate better therapeutic effects, and results from rTMS studies suggest that even current prolonged tDCS protocols might be too short. The development of home-based tDCS interventions, whose feasibility has been tested in other chronic diseases (Kasschau et al, 2016;O'Neill, Sacco, & Nurmikko, 2015), may enable the investigation and establishment of more advantageous treatment protocols.…”

Neuroplasticity represents the dynamic structural and functional reorganization of the central nervous system, including its connectivity, due to environmental and internal demands. It is recognized as a major physiological basis for adaption of cognition and behaviour, and, thus, of utmost importance for normal brain function. Cognitive dysfunctions are major symptoms in psychiatric disorders, which are often associated with pathological alteration of neuroplasticity. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a recently developed non-invasive brain stimulation technique, is able to induce and modulate cortical plasticity in humans via the application of relatively weak current through the scalp of the head. It has the potential to alter pathological plasticity and restore dysfunctional cognitions in psychiatric diseases. In the last decades, its efficacy to treat psychiatric disorders has been explored increasingly. This review will give an overview of pathological alterations of plasticity in psychiatric diseases, gather clinical studies involving tDCS to ameliorate symptoms, and discuss future directions of application, with an emphasis on optimizing stimulation effects.

“…Home-based, but clinician-supervised, technologies have also been examined, such as the remotely supervised "self-or proxy-administration protocol" for home delivery of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) [92]. Across 192 supervised treatment sessions, remotely supervised protocol adherence was greater than that observed in clinic-based delivery studies.…”
