Brain stimulation and thinking training for prenatal alcohol effects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether brain stimulation plus structured thinking practice can improve thinking and brain function in people affected by heavy alcohol exposure before birth. It may help parents and researchers learn how to support learning and daily functioning in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have documented heavy alcohol exposure during pregnancy and a fetal alcohol spectrum diagnosis (FAS, partial FAS, or ARND)
- A parent or legal guardian is available and can consent for you
- You do not have substance abuse problems
- You do not have a major neurological or developmental condition besides the alcohol-related diagnosis
- You do not have a serious psychiatric condition that affects brain function and thinking
- You can safely have brain-related procedures like MRI and tDCS (no contraindications)

This study tests a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve attention and behavior in children aged 8-12 who were exposed to alcohol before birth and have ADHD. If it helps, it could offer a new way to manage symptoms without medication.
This study offers a structured teaching program for parents of children who were exposed to alcohol before birth (prenatal alcohol exposure). It aims to help families better understand the child’s needs and how to support development and daily functioning.
This study tests whether music training can help children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). It aims to see if learning music improves brain function and behavior.
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (tDCS) and cognitive training can help people with alcohol use disorder stay abstinent. You may be included if you are currently not drinking and can commit to the program timeline.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can help people with alcohol use disorder reduce their drinking. It is for people who want to cut down but are not necessarily ready to stop completely.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see how it affects the brain in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help reduce alcohol cravings and improve treatment outcomes.
