Clinical Trial Summary

Investigating whether delta-beta cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation can augment the effects of a single session of behavioral activation in participants with major depressive disorder.


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this study is to examine whether concurrent transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) augments the effects of a single session behavioral activation (BA) treatment of depression. Following a series of clinical assessments, participants will perform a reward-based decision-making task while electroencephalography (EEG) is collected. Then, all participants will take part in a single-session 90-minute BA intervention; half of the participants will receive delta-beta tACS during the final 30 minutes of the session and half will receive an active sham stimulation. Participants will return two weeks later for another task-based EEG. Four weeks after the intervention session, they will receive self-report questionnaires via email to complete online. ;
