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. In a randomized controlled trial, both active and sham tDCS groups showed similar improvements in depression scores over six weeks, with no significant difference between them. The findings suggest that tDCS, as administered in this protocol, is not effective as a standalone treatment for this population.
