Study brain effects of mild electrical stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how mild electrical stimulation to the brain affects brain activity. You might be eligible if you’re generally healthy and can safely receive this stimulation, with no conditions that increase risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be in generally good health
- Do not have epilepsy or a family history of epilepsy
- Do not have migraine or severe ongoing headaches
- Do not have certain brain/nerve or mental health conditions (including depression or anxiety)
- You must not be pregnant and must not have metal devices or implants in the head/upper body

This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (placing a gentle electrical current through the scalp) can change how different parts of the brain communicate. It may help researchers understand treatments for brain function—if you’re eligible and don’t have certain safety concerns.
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation (HD-tDCS) to see if it can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that does not get better with standard medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send a weak electrical current to specific areas of the brain.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills. It is for healthy adults who are native English speakers and right-handed.
This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
