Health authority | Canada: Health Canada |
Study type | Interventional |
The project will investigate the use of a novel neuromodulatory technique, transcranial
direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the treatment of patients with major depressive
disorder.
Hypothesis 1: Active tDCS will improve depressive symptomology to a significantly greater
degree than sham treatment.
Hypothesis 2: Active tDCS will be well tolerated and free of major side effects.

Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: - Competent to consent - Have a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder and are currently experiencing a Major Depressive Episode as confirmed by the SCID-IV - Treatment resistant, defined as a failure to achieve a clinical response, or an inability to tolerate, at least two trials of antidepressant medication of sufficient dose for at least 6 weeks - Aged 18 to 75. - Concomitant medications including: benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers antidepressants and anticholinergics will be allowed. Since carbamazepine has been shown to interfere with the effects of anodal tDCS, potential participants taking it will not be suitable for inclusion in the trial. Exclusion Criteria: - DSM-IV history of substance abuse or dependence in the last 6 months - A major and/or unstable medical or neurologic illness - Currently taking carbamazepine - Pregnancy - History of seizures. |
