Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Post Stroke Depression
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating tDCS and Conventional treatment for Post-stroke Depression. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the research is to address the critical gap that limited number of RCTs are conducted on this topic. To further explore the efficacy of tDCs, large sample sizes, large follow up period and rigorously controlled randomized clinical trials are necessary. An optimum stimulation protocol is also needed on this study. Previous studies lack information regarding effects of this stimulation on depression, cognition, quality of life in relation to different severity levels of stroke.
