Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising tool for alleviating positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, but its role in functional outcome remains uncertain. This meta-analysis examined the effects of tDCS on general psychopathology symptoms (GPS) from the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) because GPS are closely associated with daily functioning. Literature search using Medline and PsycINFO identified 8 randomized controlled trials with tDCS and PANSS. The GPS were significantly reduced after tDCS but there was no evidence for long-term treatment effects. Further research is needed to optimize the dosing of tDCS and to understand individual differences in treatment response.
