Brain stimulation test for autoimmune muscle weakness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (through the scalp) can improve muscle weakness in people with certain autoimmune muscle diseases. It may help by changing brain signals that affect how muscles work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an autoimmune muscle disease that fits accepted 2017 EULAR/ACR criteria
- Your diagnosis also fits Connors et al. classification criteria for this condition
- You currently have measurable weakness in an arm or leg
- You do not have a current or past cancer (neoplasia)
- You do not have certain implants or devices that affect brain stimulation, like a heart pacemaker or metal clips inside the body
- You do not have active infections such as HIV, HTLV-1, or hepatitis

This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it helps improve symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may offer a non-drug option to manage symptoms like fatigue, walking difficulties, or other issues.
This study tests two non-invasive brain stimulation techniques—transcranial static field stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation—to see if they can improve symptoms like pain, depression, fatigue, and memory problems in people with various neurological disorders. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to help manage these symptoms.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with inflammatory brain diseases like MS or NMOSD. It may help if you feel your thinking has slowed down.
