Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Executive Function in Neuropsychiatric Conditions
This study is exploring how transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) might improve executive function (mental skills like planning and problem-solving) in people with certain neuropsychiatric conditions. tDCS involves placing electrodes on your scalp to deliver a low electrical current. Researchers are looking for people aged 18 to 65 who have been diagnosed with conditions like traumatic brain injury, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or ADHD. The main goal is to see if tDCS can improve your performance on a specific task called the N-Back Task, which measures executive function, from the start of treatment to one week later. The study aims to enroll 600 participants.
