In Vivo Imaging of Therapeutic Electric Current Flow

NCT02453763 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to measure current flow inside the head using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The data from this study will be used to map the current flow caused from the electrical stimulation inside the head. The methods develop will be used to map and better control delivery of the current for electrical stimulation to modify a psychiatric condition such as depression; or other conditions such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease or autism.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation

All participants will receive transcranial direct current stimulation. During the MRI images of the head a battery-powered device pulses a small current between a pair of the electrodes which will be immediately followed by more MRI images. The current pulses will be very short and there should be no feeling from the pulses. The entire imaging period will be at most 90 minutes.
