Depressive Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study of the Tolerability and Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Children and Adolescents With Epilepsy and Comorbid Depression
The proposed study seeks to obtain preliminary signal of the tolerability and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depressive symptoms in a sample of adolescents with depression and epilepsy. Additionally, effects of tDCS will be assessed via electroencephalographic, cognitive, and psychosocial measures.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been investigated extensively in recent years for the treatment of depression. Meta-analysis of individual patient data indicates that tDCS results in improvement in depressive symptoms, with efficacy comparable to antidepressant medications and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), while tDCS offers advantages over other treatments, including side effect profile, cost, and portability. tDCS has been employed to a more limited extent in children and adolescents for psychiatric conditions other than depression, as well as in both adults and children with epilepsy, with excellent tolerability and a mild adverse effect profile. The proposed protocol aims to extend the use of tDCS for treatment of depression in children with epilepsy (CWE), a population with a very high prevalence of depression and a significant need for additional treatment options, particularly nonpharmacologic treatments, due to challenges with the use of antidepressant medications and other non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques in CWE. ;
