Request for information/market prospection: Brain DC Stimulation Devices (tDCS) for Acute Depression Treatment Text automatically translated in your browsing language Automatically translated

Acquisition of direct current stimulation devices (tDCS) for acute treatment of depression. DC stimulation therapy is an intrusive treatment based on stimulation of the brain, the effectiveness of which has been demonstrated in several studies. The basis of DC stimulation therapy is transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS). In the treatment method, the low electrical current produced by an easy-to-use portable device is led for 30 minutes to the frontal lobe area. Direct current stimulation therapy is drug-free and can be given as the only treatment, especially for the first symptoms of depression, or in combination with other treatments. Direct current stimulation treatment is always prescribed by a healthcare professional, but the patient can easily do the treatments independently at home. Home care saves both the caregiver and the patient time. In the majority of patients, the symptoms of depression are alleviated when the treatment is repeated once a day for three weeks.
