Brain stimulation to improve function in frail older adults
This study uses a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to see if it can improve physical function and daily activities in older adults who are showing early signs of frailty. You will be asked to do some simple exercises and cognitive tasks while receiving or not receiving the stimulation.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 65–90 - NCT07332299Recruiting
Brain stimulation and training for seniors with TBI
This study tests if a wearable brain stimulation device (tDCS) combined with computer-based training can improve attention and concentration in older veterans with a history of mild brain injury. It involves several sessions from home using a headset and computer.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 65 years+ - NCT07318480Recruiting
Brain stimulation for drug addiction
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (called tDCS) to help people reduce their use of stimulants (like crack/cocaine) or opioids. It might help lessen cravings and improve treatment outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 18–60 - NCT07319143Recruiting
Can brain stimulation boost emotional health?
This trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see if it can improve emotional well-being. It is for healthy young adults who speak Cantonese or Mandarin.
Hong KongAges 18–35 - NCT06874309Recruiting
Brain stimulation before weight-loss surgery for better eating control
This trial tests if gentle electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) before weight-loss surgery can help you gain better control over your eating habits. It's designed for people with severe obesity who struggle with overeating.
Brno, CzechiaAges 18–65 - NCT07303998Recruiting
Brain stimulation and chair yoga for knee pain in Alzheimer's
This study tests two treatments together for people with Alzheimer's who also have chronic knee pain: a gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and online chair yoga. The goal is to see if these can reduce knee pain and improve daily life.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 60 years+ - NCT07291687Recruiting
Test of tDCS for improving walking
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement and walking in people who have trouble with motor function. You can join if you're able to walk daily, with or without a walking aid, and don't have metal in your brain.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06598683Recruiting
Brain stimulation for muscle stiffness after stroke
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can help reduce muscle stiffness and improve arm or leg movement in people who had a stroke. If you have tight or stiff muscles after your stroke, this might be a good option to explore.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 30–70 - NCT07269964Recruiting
At-home brain stimulation for depression maintenance

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tdcs?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 232 recruiting tdcs studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a tdcs trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a tdcs trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
