Registered outcomes 8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | EPs during BART | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Amplitude variation of evoked potentials (EPs) detected by electroencephalography (EEG) during the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART), assessing risk-taking behavior. Variation will be obtained by comparing records before beginning of stimulation sessions with 5, 12 and 30 days after active and/or sham tDCS. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | BIS-10 scores | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared scores from the French version of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-10). The French version of the BIS-10 is a self-rated 34 item questionnaire, composed by three subscales: motor-impulsivity, cognitive-impulsivity and non-planning-impulsivity. Each item is scored on a 0 to 4 points scale. Higher scores indicate higher levels of impulsivity. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | HDRS scores | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared scores from the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). The HDRS is a clinician-rated 17 item scale which allows depression severity assessment and follow-up. Each item is scored on a 3 or 5 point scale. Scores are represented as follows: 0-7 Normal, 8-13 Mild Depression, 14-18 Moderate Depression, 19-22 Severe Depression, ≥23 Very Severe Depression. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | UPPS-P scores | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared scores from the Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking, Positive Urgency Impulsive Behavior Scale (UPPS-P). The French version of the UPPS-P is a self-rated 45 item scale, evaluating the following components: urgency, lack of premeditation, lack of perseverance and sensation seeking. Each item is scored on a base of 4 points. Higher scores indicate higher levels of impulsivity. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | MADRS scores | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared scores from the Montgomery and Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). The MADRS is clinician-rated 10 item scale, scored in a base of 6 points per item. Cutoff points are: 0-6 Asymptomatic, 7-19 Mild Depression, 20-34 Moderate Depression and \>34 Severe Depression. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | C-SSRS scores | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared scores from the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). The C-SSRS is a clinician-rated tool that evaluates suicidal ideation and behavior. It is composed by 6 "yes/no" questions. High suicide risk is indicated when "yes" is answered to questions 4, 5 or 6. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Go/No-Go task | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared results from the experimental Go/No-Go task, assessing response inhibition. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Stroop task | Baseline (Day 0), Day 5, Day 12 and Day 30 post-tDCS | Compared results from the experimental Stroop task, assessing response inhibition. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
