NCT07908862 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Cyberaggressive Behaviour in Adults
Sponsor: Nanyang Technological University
This study tests whether mild electrical stimulation through the scalp, called tDCS, changes how aggressively adults respond to provocation in an online competitive game. Participants get one of three stimulation types over three days. The trial is labeled Phase NA, meaning it is not a drug trial, so no phase applies. It is an early look, not proof of anything.
