Brain stimulation for multiple sclerosis symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and your disability level is moderate (between 2 and 6.5 on the EDSS scale).
- You have not had an MS relapse or used corticosteroids in the last 3 months.
- You are comfortable undergoing MRI scans (no metal implants or other incompatibilities).
- You are not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and are using effective contraception if you could become pregnant.
- You have no other serious neurological or psychiatric conditions that could interfere.
- You do not have any medical reasons that make brain stimulation unsafe (like a history of seizures or certain skin conditions).

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 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 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.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with multiple sclerosis who have leg stiffness and weakness. You will receive daily sessions over two weeks to see if it improves walking and quality of life.
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.
