The Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Human Brains: A Neuroimaging Study

Northwell Health·interventional·Posted Apr 20, 2015·Updated Apr 30, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Transcranial direct current stimulation and Transcranial direct current stimulation - Sham for Chronic Schizophrenia. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this project is to examine brain function before, during, and after the administration of tDCS (Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation). The brain can perform its job well or poorly depending on many things. The investigators will be using computer tasks and paper and pencil questionnaires to measure the relationship between brain performance and the administration of tDCS. In addition, the study team will be using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and related imaging techniques to see how your brain works and compare it with the results we collected from the paper and pencil questionnaires. This study will enroll both schizophrenia patients as well as healthy volunteers without any major psychiatric disorder or physical illness.

Interventions

Transcranial direct current stimulationdevice

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neurostimulation which uses constant, low current (at 2 mA) delivered to the brain area of interest(anode over the left DLPFC while cathode over the right suborbital region) via electrodes on the scalp.
