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 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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, which uses a mild electrical current to improve thinking, balance, and movement in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help with daily functioning and quality of life.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether a new type of brain stimulation (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) with a larger coil can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves multiple sessions of rTMS and MRI scans.
