Brain stimulation for memory problems in relapsing MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial studies a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment to improve memory (specifically memory recall) in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It may help if your memory testing shows a “retrieval” problem, and if you’re able to follow the study treatment and safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)
- Your memory recall problem was shown on formal memory testing done for the study
- You can speak and read English fluently
- You have not had an MS flare (relapse) recently, and you did not use steroid treatment in the last 2 months
- You are not on certain medicines that can interfere with the stimulation, or you can pause/adjust them if required by the study
- No brain or skull issues like seizures, dementia, major brain injury, brain tumors, stroke, Parkinson’s, or skull/implant problems that block treatment

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cerebellar tDCS to help improve movement, thinking, and daily functioning in people with multiple sclerosis. The treatment involves placing electrodes on your scalp to deliver mild electrical current, which may help reduce symptoms like balance problems and cognitive difficulties.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS) to improve thinking and memory problems in people with early schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would receive the study treatment while continuing stable schizophrenia care.
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
