Demonstration Study of the Effect of the Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Depressed Patients

Demonstration Study of the Effect of the Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the Patients With Depression in Clinical Fields

Purpose of research: It aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the clinical domain for patients with depression and to optimize home-based e-medication technology.

As a home-based clinical empirical study of transcranial direct current stimulation for depressed patients, male and female subjects aged 19 to 65 who meet the criteria for mild and moderate Major depressive disorder (MDD) were enrolled, and real-world data (RWD) was obtained through self-application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at home for 6 weeks. This is a study that secures and derives real-world evidence (RWE) that can be applied to clinical practice.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male and Female aged 19 to 65 with mild and moderate Major depressive disorder (MDD)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Those diagnosed with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar or psychotic major depressive disorder, high suicide risk, Electroencephalography (EEG) and DC stimulation electrode attachment problems (such as scalp deformity, inflammatory response or other dermatological problems), Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) medical device taboos (such as head metal plate insertion), clinical trials that have been inadequate for clinical trials
