Brain stimulation study to change brain connections
This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (placing a gentle electrical current through the scalp) can change how different parts of the brain communicate. It may help researchers understand treatments for brain function—if you’re eligible and don’t have certain safety concerns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your MRI scan (brain imaging) is normal, with no abnormal findings
- You do not have metal implants in your body and you do not have a pacemaker
- You are not pregnant and you are not breastfeeding

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation (HD-tDCS) to see if it can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that does not get better with standard medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send a weak electrical current to specific areas of the brain.
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 study looks at how mild electrical stimulation to the brain affects brain activity. You might be eligible if you’re generally healthy and can safely receive this stimulation, with no conditions that increase risk.
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.
