Psychiatria Polska 2011 January

So that the specific and subjective factors do not influence the evaluation, it is necessary to assure suitable conditions--enclosing carrying out of the investigations in control to placebo and providing blinding conditions.

The paper describes these impediments and methodological difficulties which accompany investigations on the following techniques: electroconvulsive treatment ECT, nerve vagus stimulation NVS, magnetic seizure therapy MST/magnetoconvulsive therapy MCT, the deep brain stimulation DBS and trancranial direct current stimulation tDCS.
