Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation as an Adjuvant Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder
Moya-Sánchez et al., 2025. Neuropsychiatric Investigation
- Depressive symptoms significantly improved in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder after receiving tDCS treatment combined with antidepressant therapy.
- Treatments were administered using Sooma tDCS, with 30-minute sessions delivered twice daily, five times a week, for two weeks.
- A 2 mA stimulus was applied with the anode placed at F3 and the cathode at F4.
- The study found tDCS to be an effective and tolerable treatment option, especially for patients with comorbid medical and psychiatric conditions.
- No adverse effects were observed.
