Moving to accelerated protocols of tDCS in schizophrenia: A case report

In recent years, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been increasingly used to reduce symptoms in patients with schizophrenia with good outcomes, particularly for auditory hallucinations [1] and negative symptoms [2]. tDCS protocols for schizophrenia typically include ten 20-min sessions of tDCS at 2 mA applied with a frontotemporal montage, i.e., with the anode over the left prefrontal cortex and the cathode over the left temporoparietal junction. The tDCS sessions were mostly delivered at a rate of 2 sessions per day over 5 consecutive days with an interval of at least 2 hours between consecutive sessions.
