| description | Aims: ‘Flow’ is a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) treatment for depression that patients use at home. Meta-analyses of randomised sham-controlled trials (RCTs) show tDCS is safe, easy to use, and associated with significant improvements in depressive symptoms and high rates of clinical response and remission relative to placebo sham stimulation. Flow is BSI and CE-marked for treating depression in the UK, with NICE guidance for use in the NHS. |
