NCT ID NCT07410104
First seen Feb 15, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests if a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce the urge to use social media in university students who struggle with addiction. Sixty participants will be split into three groups: active tDCS, a fake stimulation (placebo), or no stimulation at all. The goal is to see if real tDCS lowers cravings and improves addiction scores more than placebo or time alone.
