Home brain stimulation for depression in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special, gentle brain stimulation device you can use at home (called tDCS) can help improve depression symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis. You will be supervised over video during the sessions to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- You have relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis
- Your MS and depression medications have been the same for at least 30 days
- You haven't had an MS relapse, new brain lesions, or steroid treatment in the last 30 days
- You have access to a local doctor who can be contacted if needed
- You are comfortable using a mobile device for video calls and can follow instructions remotely

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, guided by your heart rate, can help improve depression symptoms. If you have mild to moderate depression and are not on medication, you may be eligible.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if improving sleep can help reduce depression symptoms. You'll do short stimulation sessions at home and track your sleep and mood.
This study uses brain imaging to guide a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with depression. It aims to see if tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain can improve symptoms.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called tDCS) for adults with depression. It uses a mild electrical current on the scalp to help improve mood and thinking.
This study tests a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and may help relieve depression in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). If you have MS and moderate to severe depression that hasn't improved with other treatments, this trial might be an option.
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.
