Zapping the brain to calm mania: a new approach tested

NCT ID NCT05445466

Summary

This study tested whether a personalized, non-invasive form of brain stimulation could help reduce symptoms of mania in people with bipolar or schizoaffective disorder. Fourteen participants with mild to moderate manic symptoms received stimulation targeted at a specific brain area linked to impulse control and reward. Researchers measured changes in manic symptoms, risk-taking behavior, and brain activity to see if this approach could offer a new treatment option.
