tDCS treatment for adults with developmental disabilities and aggression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) can reduce aggressive behaviors in adults with developmental disabilities. It’s meant for people who have had aggression in the last month and can safely receive the stimulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 64 years old
- You have a developmental disability diagnosis
- You had one or more aggression incidents in the last month
- You (or your substitute decision-maker) can give consent to join
- You must not have a history of epilepsy or seizures
- You must not have certain implants or metal-related issues (including cochlear implants, brain stimulators, or metal in the skull)

This trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tDCS) combined with thinking and decision-making practice can improve how people perform on cognitive tasks. It is aimed at healthy adults, and it may help researchers understand who could benefit from these approaches.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can improve ADHD symptoms in adults. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses a weak electrical current passed through electrodes on the scalp—no surgery or needles involved.
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) over multiple sessions can improve thinking, behavior, and brain activity in adults with autism. It may help researchers learn if this safe, noninvasive treatment can support better daily functioning.
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation called tDCS can improve “executive function,” which means skills like planning, focus, and decision-making. It is designed for people with several mental health and substance-use conditions, and it may help you if those skills are affected by your diagnosis.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called tDCS) for adults with depression. It uses a mild electrical current on the scalp to help improve mood and thinking.
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.
