Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex does not reduce depressive symptoms more than sham stimulation in patients with treatment-resistant depression.

The findings suggest that tDCS, as administered in this protocol, is not effective as a standalone treatment for this population.
