Enhancing the Effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Using Non-invasive Brain Stimulation
Sponsor: University of Manitoba
Summary
The purpose of the proposed study is to examine if a repeated treatment of High Definition Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS) can increase the functional connectivity between the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate, which may further enhance the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness classes.

Interventions
MxN-9 HD-tES Stimulator (Soterix Inc.)
Patients will be stimulated with high definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) for 5 weeks (every weekdays; one session per day). In each session, a constant current at 2mA will be passed on the target brain areas for 20 minutes.
Sham Stimulation
The same stimulation protocol will be used as in Active stimulation except that a sham mode will be selected in the stimulator machine.
