Intervention Effect of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation(tACS) on Anxiety Disorder

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinical Trial

Official title:
Intervention Effect of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation(tACS) on Anxiety Disorder

Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the intervention effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS) on anxiety symptoms and somatic symptoms in patients with anxiety disorder and its underlying neural mechanism by MRI.

Clinical Trial Description

Forty patients with anxiety disorder diagnosed by DSM-5 were recruited from the second affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. All participants underwent a structured interview and routine laboratory examination before and after receiving tACS. After meeting the inclusion criteria and obtaining informed consent, each participant will complete the clinical evaluation, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and tACS treatment conducted by trained researchers at the Neuropsychological Synergetic Innovation Center of Anhui Medical University. All the participants were randomized (1:1) to receive "active" or "sham" treatment protocol. The anode was placed over AF3 with return electrodes placed at the contralateral mastoid process. Fourteen 2-mA sessions (ramp-up and ramp-down periods of 30 and 30 seconds, respectively) were applied for 20 minutes per session, twice daily over 7 consecutive days, and the stimulus frequency was set as 8 Hz. Sham tACS was delivered using the same protocol and current intensity, but the period of active stimulation was only during the ramp-up and ramp-down periods of 30 and 30 seconds. Before and after the tACS treatment, the patients had receiving a battery measure of neuropsychological tests and Magnetic resonance imaging scan in multimodalities. Neuropsychological assessment included HAMD, HAMA, PHQ15, ISI, ASI, SAS, RRS, IUS. Multimodal fMRI includes 3D-T1, rs-fMRI and DTI. Neuropsychological evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging data were obtained again 24 hours after the last treatment. The symptoms of the patients were followed up one month after the end of treatment.They were instructed to focus their answers on the past week. Afterwards, they were unblinded by the study coordinator. ;
