Clinical Trial Summary

This is an open label pilot feasibility study that will recruit 15 participants. The purpose of the pilot study will be to evaluate the feasibility of open label Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in combination with computerized cognitive behavior therapy (cCBT) to maintain wellness following an acute course of Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for up to 6 months.


Clinical Trial Description

Home-based tDCS-cCBT will involve 30-min tDCS (3 days per week) for the first 3 months and once weekly for the subsequent 3 months, in combination with computerized CBT delivered through an online portal for the duration of tDCS each day. Subjects who miss 4 consecutive treatment days or 20 percent of total treatments will be excluded from the study as it is our intention to encourage compliance with the proposed treatments to maintain optimal wellness. All missed treatment days will be recorded in a log for each participant. Aim 1. To investigate the effectiveness of maintenance tDCS-cCBT for patients with MDD who have responded to a successful acute course of ECT. Hypothesis 1. tDCS-cCBT will effectively maintain treatment response in MDD in a manner that is non-inferior to that of maintenance ECT. ;
