tDEP: Brain Stimulation as a Treatment for Depression
14 October 2019
We are looking for participants aged 18 and over with low mood/depression to take part in our study looking into a new treatment for depression.
The study aims to look at whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), could be a potential treatment for major depression that can be used at home. tDCS is a non-invasive brain-stimulation method that has been shown to reduce depressive symptoms.
You would have the treatment 5 days per week for 3 weeks, then 2 days per week for 3 weeks.
