Non-invasive therapy significantly improves depression, researchers say
A unique new therapy that applies electrical stimulation to a major nerve emanating from the brain is showing promise for major depression. In a recently completed clinical trial at UCLA, trigeminal nerve stimulation achieved an average of a 70 percent reduction in symptom severity over an 8-week study.
"The major branches of the trigeminal nerve in the face are located close to the surface of the skull and can be stimulated either with non-invasive external electrodes, as we used in this trial, or with minimally invasive subcutaneous electrodes," Cook said.
