Brain stimulation for cancer-related fatigue and weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can help reduce fatigue and weakness that lingers after cancer treatment. You would visit the lab to try the stimulation and do some simple tasks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
