tDCS is considered “off-label” treatment by the FDA.
Notes: Amrex 3×3 sponge electrodes are used in this document. You will need male banana plugs to connect to Amrex sponge electrodes. Water for the electrodes should be a least slightly saline to improve conductivity. A pinch or two of salt in a bottle of water (about 16 oz) works well.
