Protocol summary

Study aim
The effect of Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and ventromedial prefrontal cortex on emotional bias, reduction of mind wandering and improvement of affect in patients with major depressive disorder
Design
In this study, three situations are considered and repeated measures analysis of variance is used.23 subjects. The order of presenting the sessions to each subject is random and by lot.
Settings and conduct
each subject was intervened in three sessions with an interval of 72 hours. After receiving the consent letter and explaining the steps of the test, electrodes were placed on their head. After 5 minutes from the time of stimulation, the response to the computer tests began. In order to control the effect of learning the tests and to create a controlled experimental method, the order of individuals in each of the stages stimulation was done randomly. The electric current was1/5m.A for 20 min. The study site was the clinic of the School of Behavioral Sciences and Mental Health
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Diagnosis of MDD, Being right-handed, 20 to 40 years Exclusion criteria: any serious medical conditions, History of seizures, Existence of intracranial implants, Pregnancy, Acute vision problems
Intervention groups
1.the anode is placed on the left DLPFC , which leads to increased neuronal activity in this region, and the cathode is placed on the right vmPFC. 2. the cathode is placed on the DLPFC, which leads to a decrease in neuronal activity in this region, and the anode is placed on the right vmPFC. 3.electrodes are placed on the subject's head for 15 minutes like a real stimulus, but no electric current enters the subject except for the first and the last 30 seconds of the session. This session is considered as control.
Main outcome variables
emotional bias, mind wandering, affect

General information

Reason for update
An error occurred in the design section of the study.In total, there are 23 subjects who are tested in three stages. Each subject acts as its control group. Corrected in the study groups (Cross over). Also in the abstract, the design was modified.
