Treating Self Injurious Behavior: A Novel Brain Stimulation Approach

New York State Psychiatric Institute·interventional·Posted Jan 28, 2020·Updated Jul 3, 2024

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Transcranial direct current stimulation and No intervention for Self-Injurious Behavior and 10 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 13 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the tolerability and effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a potential treatment for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Individuals who engage in frequent NSSI will be randomized to 12 administrations of an active vs. inactive form of tDCS, paired with an Attention Training Technique task, over a two-week period. Functional MRI may be performed before and after this two week period. NSSI urges and behaviors will be monitored before, during, and after the period of tDCS administrations.
