Safety, Feasibility, and Benefits of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Human Subjects With Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Receiving an Exposure-based, Behavioral Therapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Soterix 1x1 tDCS mini CT, Sham Soterix 1x1 tDCS Mini CT, and 1 other intervention for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and psychological and physiological treatment benefits of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, when delivered in combination with Written Exposure Therapy (WET), for posttraumatic stress disorder posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
During stimulation, a current flows between the electrodes passing through the brain to complete the circuit. tDCS is hypothesized to modulate intrinsic neuronal activity by enhancing neuronal resting potential, or altering the likelihood that a neuron will (or will not) depolarize.
Sham setting is used on the Soterix transcranial electrical stimulator
An exposure-based, behavioral psychotherapy for PTSD.
