Official title
Mindful Breathing and Neuromodulation for Depression in Young People
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study will investigate whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can enhance the therapeutic effect of mindful breathing training (MBT) for adolescent depression. The objective is to enhance connectivity between the DLPFC with the amygdala and Default Mode Network (DMN) circuits as well as to enhance emotion regulation abilities and decrease rumination to reduce symptoms of depression. This will aid in the development of novel treatments for depression.
