Electric brain stimulation for Lyme disease cognitive issues
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve thinking problems (like slow processing speed) that continue after Lyme disease treatment. It could help you if you have mental fog or memory trouble that hasn't gone away with antibiotics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were diagnosed with Lyme disease by a doctor
- You've had at least 2 courses of antibiotics for Lyme
- You have ongoing thinking problems (like slow thinking or brain fog) that interfere with daily life
- You're 18 to 70 years old and live in the US or Canada
- You can stop antibiotics for tick-related illness 4 weeks before and during the 12-week study
- You have internet access and a quiet place at home for sessions

This trial tests whether taVNS (a noninvasive nerve stimulation done through the skin near the ear) can reduce long-lasting symptoms after Lyme disease. It targets people whose symptoms have stayed for months after standard antibiotic treatment.
This study tests whether a short course of a strong antibiotic (ceftriaxone) can help people who still have fatigue and other symptoms after being treated for Lyme disease. It aims to see if this treatment can improve your quality of life.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve sentence understanding in people with Parkinson’s disease–related mild cognitive impairment or mild cognitive impairment from Lewy body disease. It also compares results with healthy volunteers who do not have Lewy body or other memory/brain disorders.
This trial tests whether non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thinking and memory in veterans who have both a past mild traumatic brain injury and PTSD. You can do the sessions from home with internet access.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to see if it helps people with Lewy body dementia. It uses mild electrical currents to gently stimulate parts of the brain.
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.
