BACKGROUND Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a method of noninvasive neuromodulation and potential therapeutic tool to improve functioning and relieve symptoms across a range of central and peripheral nervous system conditions. Evidence suggests that the effects of tDCS are cumulative with consecutive daily applications needed to achieve clinically meaningful effects. Therefore, there is growing interest in delivering tDCS away from the clinic or research facility, usually at home. OBJECTIVE To provide a comprehensive guide to operationalize safe and responsible use of tDCS in home settings for both investigative and clinical use. METHODS Providing treatment at home can improve access and compliance by decreasing the burden of time and travel for patients and their caregivers, as well as to reach those in remote locations and/or living with more advanced disabilities. RESULTS To date, methodological approaches for at-home tDCS delivery have varied. After implementing the first basic guidelines for at-home tDCS in clinical trials, this work describes a comprehensive guide for facilitating safe and responsible use of tDCS in home settings enabling access for repeated administration over time. CONCLUSION These guidelines provide a reference and standard for practice when employing the use of tDCS outside of the clinic setting.

家庭监督下的经颅直流电刺激 (tDCS):临床研究和实践指南

背景经颅直流电刺激(tDCS) 是一种非侵入性神经调节方法和潜在的治疗工具,可在一系列中枢和外周神经系统疾病中改善功能和缓解症状。有证据表明 tDCS 的效果随着连续每日应用而累积,以实现具有临床意义的效果。因此,人们对远离诊所或研究机构(通常是在家)提供 tDCS 的兴趣越来越大。目标 提供全面指南,以在家庭环境中安全和负责任地使用 tDCS 进行研究和临床使用。方法 在家提供治疗可以减少患者及其护理人员的时间和旅行负担,从而提高可及性和依从性,以及接触偏远地区和/或生活有更严重残疾的人。结果 迄今为止,在家中 tDCS 交付的方法论方法各不相同。在临床试验中实施家庭 tDCS 的第一个基本指南后,这项工作描述了一个全面的指南,用于促进在家庭环境中安全和负责任地使用 tDCS,以便随着时间的推移进行重复管理。结论 这些指南为在临床环境之外使用 tDCS 时的实践提供了参考和标准。这项工作描述了一个全面的指南,用于促进在家庭环境中安全和负责任地使用 tDCS,以便随着时间的推移进行重复管理。结论 这些指南为在临床环境之外使用 tDCS 时的实践提供了参考和标准。这项工作描述了一个全面的指南,用于促进在家庭环境中安全和负责任地使用 tDCS,从而可以随着时间的推移进行重复管理。结论 这些指南为在临床环境之外使用 tDCS 时的实践提供了参考和标准。
