A Systematic Review on the Acceptability and Tolerability of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Treatment in Neuropsychiatry Trials

• We investigated the tolerability and acceptability of tDCS in clinical trials.• Sixty-four studies (n=2262 subjects) were included in our systematic review and meta-analysis.• Drop-out rate was similar in active (6%) and sham (7.2%) groups.• The quality of AEs reporting was limited, particularly in smaller trials and stroke studies.• An updated questionnaire and guidelines for assessment of AEs in tDCS trials are proposed.
