NCT ID: NCT03464838 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Pathological Gambling

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Gambling Disorder

Start date: March 6, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Gambling disorder is associated to high impulsivity and excessive risk-taking behaviour. These behavioural characteristics related to addiction are linked to cognitive processes in specific brain areas located in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). With the aim of studying the role of PFC in gambling disorder, the investigators employ transcranial current direct stimulation (tDCS), a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that applies a very weak electrical current to the superficial areas of the brain. The clinical phase of the research consists on studying the effects of tDCS in combination with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in patients that attend the United Kingdom (UK) National Problem Gambling Clinic. The main objective of the project is to investigate whether the combination of tDCS and CBT can help to decrease impulsivity and risk-taking behaviour and therefore improve the treatment for gambling disorder.
