Key information made simple

This study is looking at whether Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation can help people with Depression After Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery. Participants receive Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation or sham treatment and complete study visits and assessments. Some participants may receive sham treatment instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Fuling Central Hospital of Chongqing. Participation appears to involve guided sessions or support activities with check-ins on how they fit into daily life. Common reasons not to take part include active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.

FAQ

Questions about this study

What is this study trying to understand?

This study is exploring behavioral or lifestyle intervention for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. It includes a comparison with a sham comparison. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

What is a behavioral study?

This appears to be a behavioral / psychological / psychosocial study. Phase is mainly useful to check for medication studies and some device studies.

Do I need to want to stop or reduce tobacco use to participate?

The public registry appears to mention tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, or another addiction-related topic. Ask the study team whether you need to want to stop, reduce, already be abstinent, or simply meet use-related criteria. Eligibility must be confirmed by the study team.

What would I likely need to do?

You may take part in sessions or exercises related to habits, thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

Could this study affect my mood, habits, motivation, or stress?

Behavioral studies can involve habits, emotions, motivation, stress, sleep, or ways of thinking. Ask whether the intervention could affect your mood or stress, and who to contact if you feel worse. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

Who is behind this study?

This study is sponsored by Fuling Central Hospital of Chongqing City, which appears to be a hospital or academic medical center. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
