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 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 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 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 study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help reduce abnormal muscle spasms in people with dystonia. It uses MRI to see how the brain changes with the treatment.
