The Effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (TDCS) on the Working Memory and Severity of Depression Symptoms

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of brain stimulation on the skull using direct tDCS electric current on working memory and severity of depression symptoms. The present study is a semi-experimental, pretest-post test with control group. In this study, Tdcs brain electrical stimulation therapy was performed on the experimental group and compared to the control group that did not receive any treatment. Each experimental group consisted of 16 experimental groups and 16 control group who were matched according to age, sex, and education and were randomly assigned to the groups.Brain electrical stimulation was performed for 10 sessions and each session was performed for 20 minutes in the experimental group and repeated repeatedly after 4 weeks. At the end of the post-test, both groups were tested and tested. Analysis of data obtained by using covariance analysis showed that there is a significant difference between two groups in working memory and depression (P According to the results, it seems that brain stimulation It can improve working memory and severity of depression symptoms. It can be used as an effective treatment.
