| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: In addition to physical complications, Covid-19 virus causes several psychological disorders. Depression is a common psychological complication of the virus that is associated with prolonged periods and a variety of symptoms. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of the brain (tDCS) on depressive syndrome in improved individuals from Covid-19.Method: The present study was conducted in the form of a quasi-experimental design with random assignment of subjects, pre-test-post-test with control group and follow-up. The sample by available sampling method included 30 people who referred to clinics in Shiraz with depressive symptoms after developing Covid-19 and improving their physical symptoms and volunteered to participate in this study. Of these, 15 were placed in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. The instruments used in this study were Beck Depression Inventory and Treatment Sessions (tDCS) including 12 sessions of 20 minutes of F3 anodic stimulation and 2 mA cathodic FP2 stimulation. Data were analyzed by covariance method. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean of experimental and control groups in the rate of depression in the post-test stage. Also, there is no significant difference between the symptoms of depression in the experimental group, in the post-test and follow-up stages.Conclusion: it seems that (tDCS) can reduce the depressive symptoms of people with Covid-19 and have good stability over time. | ||
