Study Summary

Investigating whether delta-beta cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation can augment the effects of a single session of behavioral activation in participants with major depressive disorder.

Primary Outcome

Treatment response will be reported for clinician-rated depression symptom scores using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Items are scaled either from 0-2 to 0-4, and each item is summed for a total score ranging from 0 to 53 with higher scores indicating greater depression symptoms. Benchmarks suggested at: 0-7 normal; 8-13 mild depression; 14-18 moderate depression; 19-22 severe depression; \>=23 very severe depression.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Delta-beta cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation via the NeuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MC
  • BEHAVIORAL Single-session behavioral activation
  • DEVICE Active sham cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation via the NeuroConn DC-STIMULATOR MC
