Brain stimulation study for autoimmune muscle disease
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can help people with systemic autoimmune muscle diseases. It may improve symptoms by changing how the brain and muscles communicate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis that fits autoimmune muscle disease criteria (EULAR/ACR 2017 or Connors criteria)
- You do not have any current or past cancer (neoplasia)
- You are not pregnant (or planning pregnancy during the study)
- You do not have an implanted heart device like a pacemaker
- You do not have metal clips in the body from prior procedures (especially in the “visceral” area)
- You do not have certain infections such as HIV, HTLV-1, hepatitis, or similar infections

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.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can reduce fatigue and body pains after COVID in people with autoimmune diseases. It may help symptoms by changing brain activity without surgery.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve memory and thinking in people with certain inflammatory conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord.
This research tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can help improve abnormal brain activity patterns in people with dystonia, a condition causing sustained involuntary movements. Researchers will use brain imaging to see if this treatment helps.
This study tests two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (tSMS and tDCS) to see if they can help with symptoms like pain, fatigue, depression, or memory problems in people with various neurological conditions. If you have a condition like MS, ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or others listed, you may be able to join.
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.
