Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging treatment for major depression. We recruited participants with moderate-to-severe major depressive episodes for an observational clinical trial using Soterix Medical's tDCS telehealth platform as a standard of care. The acute intervention consisted of 28 sessions (5 sessions/week, 6 weeks) of the left anodal dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) tDCS (2.0 mA × 30 min) followed by a tapering phase of weekly sessions for 4 weeks (weeks 7-10). The = 16 completing participants had a significant reduction in depressive symptoms by week 2 of treatment [Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), : 28.00 ± 4.35 vs. 17.12 ± 5.32, < 0.001] with continual improvement across each biweekly timepoint. Acute intervention responder and remission rates were 75 and 63% and 88 and 81% following the taper period (week 10).
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)是一种新兴的重度抑郁症治疗方法。我们招募了患有中度至重度重度抑郁发作的参与者,使用Soterix Medical的tDCS远程医疗平台作为标准治疗方案进行一项观察性临床试验。急性干预包括对左侧阳极背外侧前额叶皮质(DLPFC)进行28次tDCS治疗(每周5次,共6周)(2.0毫安×30分钟),随后是为期4周(第7 - 10周)的每周递减治疗阶段。16名完成试验的参与者在治疗第2周时抑郁症状显著减轻[蒙哥马利-奥斯伯格抑郁量表(MADRS),均值:28.00±4.35对17.12±5.32,P<0.001],并且在每个双周时间点都持续改善。急性干预的有效率和缓解率在递减期(第10周)分别为75%和63%,以及88%和81%。
