Heart Rate Variability (HRV)-Guided Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

24 september 2026 uppdaterad av: NYU Langone Health

HRV-Guided tDCS: Integrering av en biomarkör för klinisk nytta

This technology development project will be informed and guided by initial data collection of human subject data. For this purpose, the investigators will recruit n=100 people with mild to moderate depression in a double-blinded, parallel-arm, sham-controlled data collection period administered at home and using the investigator's remotely supervised (RS) tDCS protocol. Enrolled participants will complete 10 days of 30-minute tDCS (2.0, DLPFC left anodal) using the RS-tDCS protocol. During each daily session, standard HR and impedance-based HR (i-HR), obtained from the tDCS headset, will be collected to identify a possible marker of response to tDCS in depression. Participants will be randomized 2:1 to active vs. sham tDCS.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Active tDCS

Participants randomized to the Active tDCS arm will complete 10 sessions of 30-minute active remotely supervised (RS)-tDCS with chest strap and impedance-based HRV data collection over the course of approximately 2-4 weeks.

tDCS will be delivered using the 1x1 Mini CT tDCS device. For active tDCS, the device is programmed to ramp up to 2.0 mA (for 30 seconds), provide constant current throughout the session (29 minutes), and then ramp down (for 30 seconds) at the end. Participants will receive 10 sessions of tDCS over the course of this study on weekdays (M-F).

Sham Comparator: Sham tDCS

Participants randomized to the Active tDCS arm will complete 10 sessions of 30-minute sham RS-tDCS with chest strap and impedance-based HRV data collection over the course of approximately 2-4 weeks.

Sham tDCS will be delivered using the 1x1 Mini CT tDCS device. For sham tDCS, the device is programmed to ramp up to 2.0 mA (for 30 seconds) followed by a ramp down (30 seconds), with no current delivery for 28 minutes, and then ramp up (for 30 seconds) and down (for 30 seconds) at the end. Participants will receive 10 sessions of sham tDCS over the course of this study on weekdays (M-F).

Change in Montgomery Ӓsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) Score
Tidsram: Baseline, End of Intervention (Up to Week 4)

MADRS is a 10-item assessment of severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. Each item is rated on a scale from 0-6. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from 0-60; higher scores indicate greater severity of depressive episodes.

Change in State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Adults (STAI): State Score
Tidsram: Baseline, End of Intervention (Up to Week 4)

STAI is a 40-item questionnaire measuring state and trait anxiety. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale. The range of possible scores for state anxiety ranges from a minimum score of 20 to a maximum score of 80; higher scores indicate greater state anxiety.

Change in Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS-SF): Positive Affect Score
Tidsram: Baseline, End of Intervention (Up to Week 4)

PANAS-SF is a self-report questionnaire that consists of two 10-item scales (20 items total) to measure both positive and negative affect. Each item is rated on a scale from 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely). The total positive affect score is the sum of affect item responses and ranges from 10 - 50; higher scores represent higher levels of positive affect.
