Personalized High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) Treatment for Major Depressive Episode

Adolescents with mood disorders experiencing major depressive episode have poor efficacy of medication treatment. High-Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) has been proven adjuvant efficacy in patients with major depressive episode. However, the optimal evidence-based stimulation parameters have not been clearly defined, which greatly limits the efficacy of HD-tDCS in the treatment of major depressive episode.This trial will compare a novel form of accurate and personalized HD-tDCS treatment protocol guided by neuroimaging biomarkers to the routine stimulation(stimulation target is L-DLPFC, central electrode is anode).The personalized selection of stimulation site, central electrode polarity will be determined by neuroimaging biomarkers. The study aims to propose a novel personalized neuroimaging-guided HD-tDCS strategy, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment, further to understand the biological mechanism of the personalized HD-tDCS treatment.
