Effects of transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial random noise stimulation on working memory and task-related EEG in major depressive disorder

CONCLUSIONS: Although tDCS induced persistent effects on WM-related oscillatory activity, neither tDCS nor tRNS + DC-offset enhanced WM performance in MDD.SIGNIFICANCE: This reflects the first sham-controlled comparison of tDCS and tRNS + DC-offset in MDD. These findings directly contrast with evidence of tRNS-induced enhancements in WM in healthy individuals.PMID:37963422 | DOI:10.1016/j.bandc.2023.106105
