Development & Validation

Development combined empirical session data and structured literature review of adverse effects across TMS, tES, and tUS. An initial item pool was informed by 851 TMS sessions and adverse effects reported in the literature. The questionnaire was refined using structured expert ratings and open-ended feedback. Psychometric analyses supported feasibility for repeated administration and indicated stable reporting patterns for acute side-effect items across temporally adjacent sessions. The final NIBS-SES distinguishes effects occurring during stimulation from those occurring between sessions.
