The study, which encompassed more than 150 participants, illustrated that the tDCS therapy, used at home, produced a significant reduction in depressive symptoms compared to a control group after ten weeks.
Accessibility is a huge one when considering barriers to mental health, and this trial substantiates the ability to take mental health treatments into a home setting.
The tDCS therapy delivers a painless, weak electrical current to the scalp, stimulating brain areas linked to mood, offering a new hope for treatment-resistant depression.
Researchers specifically targeted the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is often less active in individuals with depression, making it easier for brain cells to fire and improve mood.
