tDCS for Increasing Exercise Adherence in Individuals With Elevated Depressive Symptoms
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating tDCS, Sham tDCS, and 1 other intervention for Depression and Physical Activity. Completed, enrolled 51 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) for increasing exercise adherence among low active individuals with elevated depressive symptoms. The investigators expect that this project will contribute much needed knowledge about the role that tDCS can play in changing the affective experience of exercise.

Interventions
Participants in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) will receive tDCS over the dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex for 20 minutes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Participants in sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) will receive shame tDCS over the dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex for 20 minutes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Participants will engage in supervised, 30-minute bouts of moderate-intensity exercise 3x/week for 8 weeks.
