Protocol summary

Study aim
Evaluation of the effect of trans cranial direct current stimulation of the brainon smoking cessation in hospitalized patients with bipolar disorder
Design
This is a clinical trial study in which patients with bipolar disorder in the depressive phase referred to Amirkabir Hospital in Arak who meet the inclusion criteria are included in the study. In this study, 28 patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups.
Settings and conduct
In this clinical trial study, patients with bipolar disorder in the depressive phase referred to Amirkabir Hospital in Arak are included in the study. In this study, 28 patients were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. In the intervention group, direct electrical brain stimulation was performed with tDCS device (with current of 2 mA for 20 minutes every day ). In the control group, electrodes are attached to the patient's head but no stimulation occurs. Finally, the two groups are compared in terms of the severity of nicotine dependence symptoms (Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale Questionnaire) and the severity of depression (Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Age 20-60 years, The existence of bipolar disorder criteria in the depression phase based on DSM V criteria, Lack of mental retardation, Lack of Epilepsy, dementia, delirium and other cognitive disorders, No Pregnancy, Lack of medical diagnosis has been shown to cause problems in the study process
Intervention groups
In the intervention group, transcranial direct current stimulation is performed with tDCS device (with the current of 2 mA for 20 minutes every day for 10 sessions) . In Control group: In this group, the electrodes of the TDCS device are connected to the head, but no electrical stimulation takes place
Main outcome variables
The severity of nicotine dependence symptoms ؛ Severity of depression

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Simple individual randomization using envelopes in the division of intervention and control groups - in this method, a number of cards or letters are selected by the researcher as the intervention group and the same number as the control group. The group related to each card It is written on it. These cards are in the envelope so that the group related to it is not specified. Then these letters were mixed and folded and then according to the order of patients entering the study, a card was issued for each patient and its allocation was recorded and the card was returned to all other cards after expiration. Then we mix and pick again and take out a new card for the next patient. This process continues until the last patient.
