MedPage Today (7/13, DePeau-Wilson) reports, “When added to stable selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) treatment, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was not superior to sham stimulation for major depressive disorder (MDD),” investigators concluded in a 150-patient study that randomized 77 patients “to the active tDCS group and 73 to sham stimulation.” The findings were published online July 3 in The Lancet.
