This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp at a specific frequency (alpha waves) can reduce stress in healthy people. It involves a single session and measures your stress response.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation called tDCS can help people with depression who haven't gotten better from antidepressants. It uses a small current on the scalp to try to improve mood.
This study tests a stronger, faster type of brain stimulation (called tDCS) to see if it can help treat depression. It may be a good fit if you have major depression and haven't used other brain stimulation in the past 6 months.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called tDCS) for adults with depression. It uses a mild electrical current on the scalp to help improve mood and thinking.
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation called tDCS can improve “executive function,” which means skills like planning, focus, and decision-making. It is designed for people with several mental health and substance-use conditions, and it may help you if those skills are affected by your diagnosis.
