Spaced Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Major Depression
The protocol was feasible, safe, and well-tolerated and led to significant reductions in depressive symptoms. These results will need to be validated in a sham-controlled randomized trial. The inclusion of neurophysiological measures in future trials for purposes of biological target engagement might also contribute to our understanding of underlying mechanisms and biomarker discovery.
