The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) has been very stressful worldwide. Fear, sleep disturbances, depression, and anxiety can be overwhelming, leading to strong emotions in those who have contracted COVID-19 [1]. As there is currently no consensus on the psychological/psychiatric treatment of COVID-19, physicians have taken into account current clinical and mental conditions, comorbidities, drug-drug interactions, and others [2] based on their knowledge and experience. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been widely used for mood and anxiety conditions in clinical practice [3e5] with good outcomes. However, there are currently no reports on COVID-19 patients. Therefore, after obtaining informed consent, we used tDCS sessions for our hospitalized COVID-19 patient with a very severe level of anxiety. Here we report the case of a 32-year-oldmanwith severe obesity (body mass index of 37.5 kg/m2) who developed fever, asthenia, cough, sore throat, and shortness of breath for five days. His chest computed tomography scan revealed multiple ground-glass opacities, mainly in the peripheral and lower areas of both lungs, compatible with COVID-19. In addition, his test (nasopharyngeal and

经颅直流电刺激可缓解 COVID-19 患者的严重焦虑

2019 年新型冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 的爆发给全球带来了巨大压力。恐惧、睡眠障碍、抑郁和焦虑可能会让人不知所措,导致感染 COVID-19 的人产生强烈的情绪 [1]。由于目前对 COVID-19 的心理/精神治疗尚未达成共识,医生已根据他们的知识和经验考虑了当前的临床和心理状况、合并症、药物相互作用等 [2]。经颅直流电刺激 (tDCS) 已广泛用于临床实践中的情绪和焦虑状况 [3e5],并取得了良好的效果。但是,目前没有关于 COVID-19 患者的报告。因此,在获得知情同意后,我们为住院的 COVID-19 患者使用了 tDCS 会话,该患者具有非常严重的焦虑程度。在这里,我们报告了一名 32 岁严重肥胖的男性(体重指数为 37.5 kg/m2),他出现发烧、虚弱、咳嗽、喉咙痛和呼吸急促 5 天的情况。他的胸部计算机断层扫描显示多处磨玻璃影,主要位于双肺的外周和下部区域,与 COVID-19 相符。此外,他的测试(鼻咽和
