The brain stimulation treatment is based on decades of clinical research with the most recent meta-analyses showing that tDCS has similar efficacy to other treatments but with fewer side effects.
Across 20+ randomised controlled trials, tDCS has been shown to be superior to placebo/sham and no serious adverse events have been observed. Hence, tDCS provides an alternative to medication that is effective, safe and accessible.
tDCS for depression is effective (level A evidence)
tDCS represents a new chapter in the understanding and treatment of depression and is based on the latest psychology and neuroscience research.
tDCS headset can treat mild, moderate and severe depression.
Treatment has been shown in multiple clinical trials to have a positive impact on depression and to reduce depressive symptoms within 3 weeks.
Other analysis shows 81% of people experiencing an increase in focus, mood and optimism with 30% overcoming depression completely.
Here at New Beginnings we also offer additional unique treatment.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive technique able to manipulate brain neuroplasticity and modulate cortical function by delivering weak direct currents. It induces long-term potentiation (LTP)-like synaptic changes that facilitate cortical excitability, neuroplasticity, and learning.
Transcranial direct current stimulation is a form of neuromodulation that uses constant, low direct current delivered via electrodes on the head. It was originally developed to help patients with brain injuries or neuropsychiatric conditions such as major depressive disorder.
