Recruiting studies
- NCT07438964Recruiting

Brain stimulation combined with Nordic walking for Parkinson's
This study combines a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) with Nordic walking (walking with poles) to see if it helps improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment lasts 4 weeks and may be an option if you have a slow walking pace and no implanted brain devices.
Belém, ParáAges 50–75 - NCT07358832Recruiting
Brain stimulation for vision loss after recent brain injury
This trial tests whether combining brain stimulation with visual exercises can help improve vision loss caused by a recent brain injury. It is designed for people in the early recovery phase (within 3 months of injury) who have visual field deficits, but not other conditions like neglect or eye movement problems.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07361692Recruiting
Electric brain stimulation for complex regional pain syndrome
This trial tests if a gentle electric current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can reduce pain in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a chronic pain condition. It aims to see if this treatment is effective and safe for managing symptoms.
Saint-NazaireAges 18 years+ - NCT07334977RecruitingPhase 2
Brain and spinal cord stimulation after stroke or injury
This trial tests whether stimulating the brain and spinal cord together can help people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury. It also includes a healthy control group for comparison.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07334561Recruiting
Brain stimulation for depression and pain
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial electrical stimulation) for people who have both depression and chronic pain. It aims to see if this treatment can help improve mood and reduce pain.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07251816Recruiting
How the brain creates motivation
This study looks at how your brain creates motivation by using brain scans and sometimes gentle stimulation. It is for healthy people who want to help researchers understand normal brain function.
BronAges 18–40 - NCT07239427Recruiting
Brain stimulation with pain coping for fibromyalgia
This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation method (tDCS), combined with a pain coping program, can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. It compares two groups to see if adding brain stimulation makes the coping program more effective.
Valladolid, ValladolidAges 18 years+ - NCT07222163Recruiting
Stuttering study with brain stimulation
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce stuttering. It involves attending several sessions where you receive either active stimulation or a placebo, while you speak or do tasks.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT07228468Recruiting
Home brain stimulation for depression
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the head at home can help reduce symptoms of major depression. You would use a device for short sessions over several weeks, while continuing your usual care.
CardiffAges 18 years+ - NCT07217223Recruiting
Home-based brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help people with depression that hasn't improved with medication. It can be done at home using a special headset and an internet connection.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT07211256Recruiting
Home brain stimulation for chronic pain
This trial tests if a gentle, home-use electrical brain stimulation device (tDCS) can help people with long-lasting pain that hasn't responded well to other treatments. If you have had pain for at least 6 months and a previous brain stimulation helped only briefly, this study may offer a new option.
Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts de SeineAges 18–80 - NCT07196423Recruiting
Early psychosis cognition study
This study explores how thinking and memory work in people who have experienced early psychosis. It involves computer tasks, brain scans, and a type of brain stimulation to better understand cognition. The study has two parts: one for people currently in early psychosis and one for people who have had psychosis at any point.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 18–55 - NCT07162311Enrolling by invitation
Home brain stimulation for rheumatoid arthritis pain
This trial tests if a gentle, home-based brain stimulation device (tDCS) can reduce chronic pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis who have low inflammation. It may offer a drug-free way to manage pain.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–70 - NCT06183424Recruiting
Brain stimulation for COVID-19 recovery
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation method called tDCS to help people recover after COVID-19 infection. If you are an adult who recently had COVID-19 and is now testing negative, this study might help improve lingering symptoms.
AntalyaAges 18–50 - NCT07092280Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for children with autism
This trial tests if mild electrical stimulation applied to the head (tDCS) can help children with autism. Your child must be enrolled in ABA therapy and be off certain medications to join.
Staten Island, New YorkAges 5–12 - NCT07073287RecruitingPhase 2
Cerebellar-spinal brain stimulation for chronic stroke mobility

João Pessoa, ParaíbaAges 18–75 - NCT04704687RecruitingPhase 3
tDCS brain stimulation for children with ADHD symptoms
This Phase 3 study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method called tDCS can improve ADHD symptoms in children, and whether it helps over the long term. Your child may be able to join if they are 7–14 with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis and meet symptom and testing scores.
AmiensAges 7–14 - 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.

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.
