Summary

To investigate the intervention effect of high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) assisted Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for depressive disorder.

Conditions

  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
  • Electroconvulsive Therapy
  • Depressive Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

High definition transcranial direct current stimulation

tDCS is described as a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that uses a low-intensity, constant current applied directly to the head through scalp electrodes.

DEVICE

Sham High definition transcranial direct current stimulation

Sham HD-tDCS was delivered using the same protocol and current intensity, but the period of active stimulation was only during the ramp-up and ramp-down periods of 30 and 30 seconds.

DEVICE

electroconvulsive therapy device

ECT induces brief generalized epileptic seizures by electric current to stimulate the forehead under general anesthesia
