Transcranial direct-current stimulation
A systematic review and meta-analysis of placebo-controlled trials investigating tDCS treatment for major depressive disorder was published, analyzing nine studies with 572 participants. The review found statistically superior efficacy of active tDCS compared to sham treatment, with significant improvements in response, remission, and depression symptoms.

Transcranial direct-current stimulation
A study by Brunoni demonstrated that 6-weeks of tDCS treatment resulted in at least 50% reduction of depression symptoms in 41% of depressed participants, compared to 22% in the placebo group and 47% in the antidepressant group.

Transcranial direct-current stimulation
A meta-analysis revealed that 34% of people treated with tDCS showed at least a 50% reduction in depression symptoms, compared to 19% in the placebo group.

Transcranial direct-current stimulation
The British National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) found tDCS to be safe and potentially effective for depression treatment.

Transcranial direct-current stimulation
By this year, several small randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in major depressive disorder (MDD) had been conducted, with most finding alleviation of depressive symptoms. Two small RCTs in treatment-resistant MDD showed mixed results.
