NCT ID NCT05280756

Summary

This study tested whether a home-based brain stimulation treatment could help prevent suicidal thoughts in adults at high risk after leaving the hospital. Researchers enrolled 33 adults with mood disorders who had recently been hospitalized for suicidal thoughts but were not actively suicidal at the start. Participants used a device at home that delivered either real or fake mild electrical stimulation to the brain for 10 sessions, while being monitored remotely.
