Brain stimulation for thinking problems in MS and NMOSD
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease like NMOSD or MS.
- You have memory or thinking problems (score below 55 on a thinking test, or you feel your thinking has declined).
- You have not had a relapse or changed your medications in the last month.
- You are right-handed and speak Chinese as your first language.

This trial tests a personalized form of electrical brain stimulation to improve cognitive problems like memory and thinking speed in people with conditions that damage the protective coating around nerves. It aims to see if this treatment can help with day-to-day thinking challenges.
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
