Brain stimulation for stress and burnout in university staff
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce stress and burnout in university staff. It involves 10 sessions of treatment, and researchers will check if it improves how you feel at work.

This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the head (transcranial electrical stimulation) can help reduce symptoms of chronic stress. The study uses two types of non-invasive stimulation and compares them to see which is more effective.
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 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.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the stimulation remotely, from home, for about an hour a day.
