Abstract

Background and Aim: Transcranial Direct Current Electric Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive treatment. The purpose of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) on PTSD symptoms. Methods: This was a double-blind, controlled randomized with pretest-posttest design. The statistical population included patients with PTSD in Atieh clinical neuroscience center and Baqiyatallah University of Medical Science (1396 to 1397), in which 44 subjects were selected using a purposive sampling method and then randomly divided into two experimental (EMDR = 14, tDCS = 15) and one control (n = 15). Active and sham tDCS groups received bilateral active and sham stimulation (2mA) on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during 10 sessions. The EMDR group also received 5 sessions of EMDR treatment. The research tool was included the PTSD-Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5). The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: Symptoms of PTSD were significantly reduced in the experimental groups compared to the control group in the post-test and follow-up periods (P <0.05) While there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups in the post-test and follow-up stages (P >0.05). Conclusion: The tDCS method can be used as a non-invasive treatment to reduce the symptoms of PTSD.
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)与眼动脱敏与再加工(EMDR)治疗创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的疗效比较
背景与目的:经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)是一种非侵入性的治疗方法。本研究的目的是比较经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)、眼动脱敏和再处理(EMDR)对PTSD症状的有效性。方法:这是一项双盲、对照、随机的前测后测设计。统计人群包括Atieh临床神经科学中心和Baqiyatallah医科大学的PTSD患者(1396至1397),其中44名受试者采用有目的的抽样方法,然后随机分为两个实验组(EMDR=14,tDCS=15)和一个对照组(n=15)。在10个疗程中,主动和假tDCS组在背外侧前额叶皮层(DLPFC)上接受双侧主动和假刺激(2mA)。EMDR组还接受了5个疗程的EMDR治疗。该研究工具包括DSM-5创伤后应激障碍检查表(PCL-5)。数据采用多变量协方差分析(MANCOVA)进行分析。结果:在试验后和随访期间,实验组的PTSD症状与对照组相比明显减轻(P<0.05)。
