Can the questionnaire be used repeatedly across sessions?
Can the questionnaire be used repeatedly across sessions?
Yes. The NIBS-SES was developed for repeated, session-by-session administration and is suitable for routine safety monitoring across multiple sessions.

Does the NIBS-SES distinguish between Acute vs. delayed side effects?
Does the NIBS-SES distinguish between Acute vs. delayed side effects?
Yes. The instrument distinguishes between sensations or effects occurring during stimulation and those occurring between sessions.
Yes. The instrument distinguishes between sensations or effects occurring during stimulation and those occurring between sessions.
How was the NIBS-SES developed?
How was the NIBS-SES developed?
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. Psychometric analyses supported feasibility for repeated administration. The final NIBS-SES distinguishes effects occurring during stimulation from those occurring between sessions.
