Experimental Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Reduced Symptoms For People With Depression
Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), an experimental treatment, is effective as a treatment for people diagnosed with depression, according to a meta-analysis of 88 randomized clinical trials that included 5,522 people. Both tES with direct current (tDCS) and tES with alternating current (tACS) were effective for individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD), depression with psychiatric comorbidities (DPC), and depression with medical comorbidities (DMC), the study found. The participants experienced mild to moderate adverse events, but the researchers concluded that tES was well-tolerated overall. There was insufficient evidence for results of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), according to the . . .
