Can brain stimulation and virtual reality boost thinking in MS?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and virtual reality exercises can improve memory and thinking problems in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have mild to moderate disability and no major health issues, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis by a doctor.
- Your disability level is 7.5 or less on the EDSS scale (you can walk at least a few steps with help).
- You do not have major psychiatric disorders, epilepsy, or a history of brain surgery.
- You have not had an MS relapse needing steroids in the last 2 months.
- Your vision in both eyes is better than 6/10 on an eye chart (with glasses if needed).

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.
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 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 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 if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
This study tests whether combining virtual reality exercise with a mild electrical brain stimulation can improve thinking skills in healthy older adults. It may help you stay mentally sharp as you age.
