About this study

Mindfulness training, relaxation training, and cerebellar electrical stimulation were used to intervene in the cognitive function of healthy individuals and individuals with first episode depression

Read the detailed description

In this proposed study,the investigators will evaluate the effects of different non-pharmacological interventions (physical/psychological) on emotion-related cognitive function.This project will use a variety of intervention methods to conduct research in healthy individuals and patients with mood disorders. The main intervention methods include: (1) mindfulness training;(2) relaxation training;(3) cerebellar electrical stimulation.

The study will recruit 80 healthy subjects and 40 first-episode depression patients. The study consisted of three steps: First, subjects filled in personal data and completed the first screening, randomly assigned groups, and filled in the pre-intervention questionnaire;Second, give a one-time non-drug intervention (mindfulness training, relaxation training or cerebellar electrical stimulation);Step 3: After the intervention, the subjects filled in the post-intervention questionnaire and completed the cognitive task test.Clinical efficacy and safety assessment will be done at first time. The specific aims are to evaluate the effect of non-drug therapy on cognitive function in healthy individuals and patients with first episode depression. and the behavior was evaluated by cognitive function task.
