This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help reduce fatigue and improve quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis. You would receive either real or placebo stimulation over several sessions to see if it helps you feel less tired.
MadridAges 18–75 - NCT04732052Recruiting
tDCS treatment for adults with developmental disabilities and aggression
This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can reduce aggressive behaviors in adults with developmental disabilities. It’s meant for people who have had aggression in the last month and can safely receive the stimulation.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06077695Recruiting
Memory training after head injury
This study tests a computer-based training program to help improve working memory after a moderate or severe head injury. It is designed for people who still have memory problems at least 3 months after their injury.
ToulouseAges 18–60 - NCT06517706Recruiting
Studying brain health after COVID-19
This study looks at how COVID-19 affects thinking and memory. It aims to understand and help people who still have brain fog or other cognitive issues after their infection.
Nicosia, CyprusAges 25–60 - NCT06209645Recruiting
Personalized brain stimulation for stubborn nerve pain relief
This study tests a non-invasive, personalized brain stimulation technique to reduce nerve pain that has not responded to standard treatments. It may be a good option if you have had nerve pain for over a year and have already tried other pain medications without enough relief.
BronAges 18–80 - NCT04209153Recruiting
Brain stimulation study to help people quit nicotine addiction
This trial tests whether direct brain electrical stimulation can help people who use tobacco every day. You must have strong nicotine dependence and be able to follow the study in French, while avoiding certain health and safety conditions.
Paris, IDFAges 18 years+ - NCT06009523Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for suicidal thoughts
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, which uses mild electrical currents to reduce suicidal thoughts in people with depression. If you have moderate to severe depression and still have suicidal ideation despite treatment, this might be an option.
Faye-l'AbbesseAges 18 years+ - NCT06818201Recruiting
Brain stimulation for ACL surgery recovery
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS can improve how your brain controls leg muscles and speeds up recovery after ACL surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 16–40 - NCT06821256Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation for multiple system atrophy
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can help people with a specific type of multiple system atrophy (the cerebellar variant) improve walking and other symptoms. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment is safe and effective.
Salerno, SaAges 40–90 - NCT07500064Recruiting
tDCS Brain Stimulation for Depression
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called tDCS) for adults with depression. It uses a mild electrical current on the scalp to help improve mood and thinking.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–65 - NCT05236010Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus cognitive training for mild TBI memory and thinking
This trial studies whether brain stimulation through the scalp can improve cognitive (thinking and memory) training in people with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Participants train on thinking tasks while receiving a targeted “control network neuromodulation” approach to see if it enhances training results.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–59 - NCT03025334Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for thinking changes in Parkinson’s
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 40 years+ - NCT03233399Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for movement intention and symptoms
This trial tests how a form of brain stimulation affects how people plan or carry out movement, and how symptoms show up on tasks. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and whether brain stimulation can change movement intention or related brain signals.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT03402854Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus arm therapy for children with one-sided CP
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation treatment plus bimanual (two-hand) arm therapy can improve arm and hand use in children with congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help children strengthen and control the affected hand and improve daily movement.
White Plains, New YorkAges 6–18 - NCT04084795Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for tdcs?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 245 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.
