Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether Nexalin Trans-Cranial Electrical Stimulation (TES) is an effective treatment for depression among patients who are candidates for ECT. A secondary aim to assess whether Nexalin can be used as an alternative to ECT. Although Nexalin has been approved for use in the US, using Nexalin to treat depression in this way is investigational and experimental. If Nexalin is found to be an alternative to ECT, it could offer a safer treatment for depression with less side-effects and a lower cost. !!! NOTE !!! Post Script / Post Study. The ECT arm (profiling subjects as ECT accepters vs. rejecters) was dropped owing to site objections by referring clinicians. Accordingly, the study was framed as a simple comparison between TES and SHAM TES.
