多靶点经颅直流电刺激治疗共病抑郁与慢性疼痛:一项多中心随机对照试验

2026年9月1日 更新者:Shanghai Mental Health Center

经颅电刺激治疗共病抑郁与疼痛:从技术发展到多中心临床试验转化

本临床试验旨在研究一种新型非药物干预方法——经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)用于治疗共病抑郁症和疼痛。 主要目标是通过多中心随机对照设计优化神经刺激参数,并阐明该共病潜在的神经回路-免疫相互作用机制。 患有共病抑郁症和慢性疼痛的参与者将被随机分配接受主动多靶点经颅电刺激或假刺激。 干预期将持续2周,随后进行一系列治疗后随访评估。 研究人员将比较各组抑郁严重程度(如通过HAMD-24评估)和疼痛强度(如NRS、BPI)的变化以评估疗效。 次要结局指标包括疼痛感知、定量感觉测试、功能磁共振成像、脑磁图、代谢标志物、神经递质和炎症生物标志物。 本研究旨在提供精确、个体化的治疗策略,减少对药物治疗的依赖,并促进国产高端医疗设备的发展。

干预/治疗
实验性的:tDCS
Participants receive active tDCS. The anodal electrode is placed over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3), and the cathodal electrode is placed over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F4). A constant current of 2 mA is applied for 40 minutes per session, with a 30-second ramp-up and ramp-down period. The intervention is administered once daily for 2 weeks (total of 10 sessions).
Participants receive active tDCS. The anodal electrode (5 × 5 cm) is placed over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3), and the cathodal electrode (5 × 7 cm) is placed over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F4). A constant current of 2 mA is applied for 40 minutes per session, with a 30-second ramp-up and ramp-down period. The intervention is administered once daily for 2 weeks (total of 10 sessions).
实验性的:alpha-tACS
Participants receive active alpha-tACS. Two electrodes are placed over F3 and F4. A sinusoidal alternating current at 10 Hz frequency (alpha band) is applied 1 mA (zero-to-peak) at the F3 and F4 electrodes. Stimulation duration is 40 minutes per session, including 30-second ramp-up and ramp-down periods. The intervention is administered once daily, 5 days per week, for 2 weeks (total of 10 sessions).

假比较器:Sham
Sham group using the same electrode montage at F3/F4. To maintain blinding, the stimulator delivers current only during the initial 30-second ramp-up period, followed by an immediate ramp-down, and a final 30-second ramp-up at the end of the stimulation session. This mimics the initial sensation of active stimulation without delivering sufficient current to induce neural modulation.

实验性的:Exploratory Open-Label tACS Group
Participants in this exploratory arm receive the same active tACS intervention as Arm alpha-tACS, with identical stimulation parameters (e.g., 1 mA, 40 minutes, 10 Hz, targeting the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)). This arm is open-label (unblinded): participants and study personnel are aware of the treatment assignment. It serves as a supplementary exploratory cohort to explore preliminary neural oscillation entrainment effects of tACS. Unlike Arms 1-3, this arm is neither randomized nor blinded. Data from this arm will be analyzed separately and are not included in the primary confirmatory hypothesis testing of the randomized controlled trial. The overall study remains double-blind for the three-arm RCT component, with this exploratory arm conducted as an ancillary cohort.

大体时间
Proportion of Participants Achieving MCID on BPI Pain Intensity Subscale
大体时间:At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline

Description:

The BPI is a validated self-administered questionnaire that assesses the severity of pain and its impact on daily functioning. The pain intensity subscale consists of four items rating pain at its "worst," "least," "average," and "current" (right now). Each item is rated on a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

The Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) is defined as a reduction of ≥ 1 point from baseline in the BPI pain intensity score. The outcome is the proportion of participants in each group who achieve this MCID threshold at each follow-up time point.

大体时间
Percentage Reduction from Baseline in HAMD-17 Total Score
大体时间:At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline

The HAMD-17 is a 17-item clinician-rated scale assessing depression severity. Items are rated on 3- or 5-point scales, with total scores ranging from 0 to 52. Higher scores mean a worse outcome (greater depression severity).

The outcome is the percentage reduction in HAMD-17 total score from baseline at each follow-up time point, calculated using the formula:

[(Baseline score - Follow-up score) / Baseline score] × 100%

A positive percentage indicates improvement (reduction in depressive symptoms).

At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline
Change from Baseline in HAMD-17 Total Score
大体时间:At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (post-intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up)
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) is a 17-item clinician-rated scale assessing depression severity. Items are rated on 3- or 5-point scales, with total scores ranging from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate greater depression severity (worse outcome). The outcome is the absolute change in the total score from baseline at each follow-up time point, calculated as: [(Baseline score) - (Follow-up score)]. A positive change value indicates improvement (reduction in depressive symptoms). No pre-defined clinically meaningful threshold is applied to this continuous outcome; it is reported as the mean absolute change per group.
At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (post-intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up)
Change from Baseline in Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) Total Score
大体时间:At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline
The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a 13-item self-reported questionnaire. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (all the time), with total scores ranging from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate higher levels of pain catastrophizing (worse outcome). The outcome is the absolute change in the total score from baseline at each follow-up time point, calculated as: [(Baseline score) - (Follow-up score)]. A positive change value indicates improvement (reduction in pain catastrophizing).
At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline
Change from Baseline in Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) Total Score
大体时间:At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline
The GAD-7 is a 7-item self-report scale (0-21, higher scores = worse outcome) assessing anxiety symptoms over the past two weeks. The outcome is the absolute change in the total score from baseline at each follow-up time point, calculated as: [(Baseline score) - (Follow-up score)].
At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (end of intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up) post-baseline
Change from Baseline in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) Total Score
大体时间:At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (post-intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up)

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale consists of two clinician-rated subscales assessing overall treatment response:

CGI-Severity (CGI-S): Rates the severity of the patient's illness on a 7-point scale from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients). Higher scores mean a worse outcome.

CGI-Improvement (CGI-I): Rates the patient's improvement compared to baseline on a 7-point scale from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). This subscale is only assessed at post-baseline time points. Lower scores mean a better outcome (greater improvement).

The outcome is the change from baseline in CGI-S score at each follow-up time point, and the CGI-I score at each post-baseline time point.

At 1 week (mid-intervention), 2 weeks (post-intervention), and 6 weeks (follow-up)
Change from Baseline in Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the DLPFC at 2 Weeks
大体时间:Baseline and immediately after the 2-week intervention period
Resting-state functional connectivity (rs-FC) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is assessed using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The primary measurement is the change in seed-based functional connectivity strength between the DLPFC and its target network regions (e.g., parietal cortex, default mode network nodes), quantified as Fisher-transformed correlation coefficients (z-values) from a priori defined regions of interest. Higher z-values indicate stronger positive functional connectivity; lower or negative values indicate weaker or anticorrelated connectivity. Structural MRI (sMRI) is acquired for co-registration and normalization purposes.

Change from Baseline in Brain-Derived Exosome Metabolite Levels
大体时间:From baseline to post-intervention at 2 weeks
Metabolite profiles are measured using untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in plasma-derived brain-enriched exosomes. Changes in metabolite profiles from baseline to post-intervention are assessed using multivariate partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The primary comparison is the separation distance (e.g., Q² or R² values) between baseline and post-intervention clusters, with positive values indicating greater separation between the two time points. This is an exploratory outcome to identify potential metabolic biomarkers and generate hypotheses related to the mechanisms of tACS/tDCS action. Results will be reported descriptively and are not part of the primary confirmatory analysis.
