Home brain stimulation to improve thinking and language
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a safe, mild electrical stimulation device (tDCS) that you can use at home. It may help improve your thinking or language after a stroke, brain tumor, or other brain condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke, brain tumor, or a brain condition that affects thinking or language for at least 3 months.
- You are expected to live longer than 6 months.
- Your condition makes daily life harder (like trouble finding words or thinking clearly).
- You have a caregiver who can help you make decisions if needed.
- You do not have metal implants in your head (like a clip or plate).
- You are not pregnant, do not have epilepsy, and are medically stable.

This trial tests whether combining two types of safe brain stimulation—tDCS and TMS—can help improve thinking abilities and movement control in people recovering from stroke. The study focuses on patients within 1–6 months of their first stroke.
This trial tests whether targeted mild brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve speech therapy results for people with long-lasting (chronic) aphasia after a stroke. It may help strengthen naming and communication when added to standard speech-language treatment.
This trial tests whether gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation (tACS) can improve speech and language (aphasia) after stroke. You may be asked to do language and thinking tests before and after the stimulation to see if it helps.
This study tests a form of brain stimulation (TMS) in people who had a stroke affecting the left side of the brain. It aims to understand whether stimulation can help with language processing tasks at least a month after stroke.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve thinking and memory problems after an acute ischemic stroke. It also uses brain scans to better understand how the treatment may help.
This study tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to help improve movement in people who have had a stroke that affects one side of the body. It aims to see if this gentle electrical stimulation can boost recovery of arm and hand function.
