No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the proposed study is to examine if a repeated treatment of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) can increase the functional connectivity between the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate, which may further enhance the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness classes.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

MxN-9 HD-tES Stimulator (Soterix Inc.)

Patients will be stimulated with high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) for 5 weeks (every weekdays; one session per day). In each session, a constant current at 2mA will be passed on the target brain areas for 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Sham Stimulation

The same stimulation protocol will be used as in Active stimulation except that a sham mode will be selected in the stimulator machine.
