Summary
This study aimed to see if a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) could help people with severe depression that didn't improve after at least five treatments. Participants would have received 30 sessions over six weeks, either real or fake stimulation, alongside their usual care. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
