Stimulation treatment to help post-stroke fatigue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the brain can reduce fatigue after a stroke. It may help people who are still bothered by significant tiredness at least 3 months after their stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- Your stroke was more than 3 months ago, and it was confirmed by a CT or MRI
- Your fatigue is currently severe (fatigue score above 4)
- Your medicines for fatigue/related issues can stay the same during the study
- A caregiver, family member, or friend can be present during the treatment sessions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation method (repetitive magnetic pulses) to see if it can reduce fatigue that continues long after a stroke. It may help people whose stroke fatigue has lasted more than six months and who can safely undergo repeated sessions.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce fatigue and weakness that lingers after cancer treatment. You would visit the lab to try the stimulation and do some simple tasks.
This trial tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and a talking therapy program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve energy and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This trial tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help reduce fatigue and improve quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis. You would receive either real or placebo stimulation over several sessions to see if it helps you feel less tired.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people recover arm movement after a recent stroke. It is for people who have severe weakness in one arm and are still within the first 8 weeks of recovery.
