First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help treat depression with catatonia (a state of being stuck, unable to move or speak) in adults with Down syndrome. 62 participants will receive either real or fake (sham) tDCS for 15 sessions. The goal is to see if symptoms improve and if the treatment is safe, offering a drug-free option for this group.
