NCT ID NCT07228468

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called tDCS that people can use at home to ease depression. About 438 adults with major depression will either receive active tDCS plus their usual care, or just usual care alone. The goal is to see if adding tDCS reduces depressive symptoms more than standard treatment alone.
