Brain stimulation for neurological symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests two non-invasive brain stimulation techniques—transcranial static field stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation—to see if they can improve symptoms like pain, depression, fatigue, and memory problems in people with various neurological disorders. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to help manage these symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a neurological condition such as multiple sclerosis, ALS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, stroke, epilepsy, or chronic headache.
- You have at least one symptom like pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, memory problems, or trouble with movement.
- You are able to follow study instructions and give written consent.
- You do not have an unstable medical condition (like active cancer or infection), and are not pregnant or recently given birth.
- You are not taking certain medications that could increase seizure risk (like fampridine) or affect brain plasticity (like L-dopa or antiepileptics).

This trial studies whether a noninvasive brain stimulation approach using a static magnetic field can help people with progressive multiple sclerosis. It aims to improve progressive nerve function while keeping other treatments stable.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
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 a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial electrical stimulation) to see if it can improve thinking and memory problems in people with inflammatory brain diseases like MS or NMOSD. It may help if you feel your thinking has slowed down.
