Home-based brain stimulation for Huntington's disease symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation device (tDCS) used at home can help improve thinking and behavior in people with Huntington's disease. A caregiver is needed to be present during treatment and help with questionnaires.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Huntington's disease (or have a family history and typical symptoms like chorea).

This trial tests an at-home, noninvasive brain stimulation treatment to help with behavioral and cognitive (thinking) symptoms in people with Huntington’s disease. You and a caregiver work together during sessions and questionnaires to see if symptoms improve and stay stable.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic device (placed on the head) can help reduce involuntary movements (chorea) in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to see if this gentle stimulation can improve movement control.
This study uses special brain imaging and memory/thinking tests to find early “markers” that can predict how Huntington’s disease will progress over time. You may qualify as someone with early-stage Huntington’s or as a healthy control, if you meet specific safety and scoring requirements.
This study tests new ways to measure thinking and memory skills in people with Huntington's disease. It aims to find better tools for tracking the disease and could help you understand your cognitive changes.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique, called tDCS, can help improve mood symptoms like depression, anxiety, or irritability in people with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. A caregiver will help with the sessions at home, and all visits are done remotely.
This study tests if a gentle brain-stimulation device used at home can help older adults who have both memory worries and slower walking. A study partner will help you use the device.
