Brain stimulation to reduce fatigue in multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (using the 2017 McDonald criteria).
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You haven't had a relapse in the last 2 months.
- You have been experiencing fatigue for at least the last 6 months, and it's moderate to severe (a specific fatigue score).
- You do not have any metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, epilepsy, or pregnancy, and your skin at the stimulation site is healthy.
- Your MS medications (like certain immune-suppressing drugs) have been stable for at least a month, and you are not starting or switching to ocrelizumab, rituximab, alemtuzumab, or cladribine during the study.

This trial combines treadmill training with a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to see if it can help people with Multiple Sclerosis walk better. The study is for people with stable MS and mild to moderate disability.
This study tests two non-invasive brain stimulation treatments—TMS and tDCS—to see if they can reduce fatigue in people with relapsing-remitting MS. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to help you feel less tired.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce fatigue in people with relapsing-remitting MS. It compares people with and without fatigue to understand how the brain is affected.
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 whether doing exercises at home combined with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (gentle electrical stimulation on your scalp) can reduce the exhaustion and tiredness that comes with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if this combination helps you feel less fatigued and improves your ability to stay active.
This trial tests a brain stimulation therapy designed to reduce fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. If you experience moderate to severe fatigue and have a stable medication routine, this study might help determine if a non-invasive treatment can improve your energy levels.
