Clinical Trial Summary

Risk for suicide is elevated in the period after discharge from hospital among adults with major affective disorder. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of delivering tDCS sessions for high-risk patients for suicide at home in the days following discharge from an emergency department or inpatient unit. This is a single-center, randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind clinical study. We plan to assess up to 80 adult patients for eligibility over 12 months of which 20 will be enrolled and randomized. Clinical assessments will be performed at baseline, post-treatment day 14 (14 days after the first tDCS session), and follow-up day 30 and 60 (30 and 60 days after the first tDCS session, respectively).
