Reality testing of the efficacy of tDCS on auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia

After receiving an email from Psychiatry Advisor with the subject line, “Hallucinations in Schizophrenia Alleviated by tDCS” we read with interest the manuscript by Lee, et al. entitled “The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on auditory hallucination in patients with schizophrenia” published online in Schizophrenia Research (Lee et al., 2018). In this manuscript, the authors performed a meta-analysis of 3 sham-controlled and 3 uncontrolled open label studies and pooled data to assess the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia.
