Testing brain stimulation for posterior cortical atrophy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS to see if it can help people with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), a condition that affects vision and spatial skills. You would receive personalized stimulation sessions, and the study aims to learn if this treatment improves symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with or have symptoms of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA)
- You are fluent in English
- You are able to use the HD-tDCS device safely (you will be checked for this)
- You have been on a stable dose of any relevant medications for at least 4 weeks before joining
- If you do long-term study visits at home, you need a study partner to help use the device

This study tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) can improve motor function in healthy adults. If you are right-handed, in good health, and have no neurological or major medical conditions, you may be eligible.
This trial tests an at-home, noninvasive brain stimulation treatment to help with behavioral and cognitive (thinking) symptoms in people with Huntington’s disease. You and a caregiver work together during sessions and questionnaires to see if symptoms improve and stay stable.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation device (tDCS) used at home can help improve thinking and behavior in people with Huntington's disease. A caregiver is needed to be present during treatment and help with questionnaires.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can help people with ALS. It is a randomized trial, meaning participants are assigned by chance to receive the real stimulation or a placebo, to see if it slows disease progression.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS to help people recover from a recent stroke. It's for people who cannot have the standard clot-removal procedure and who can start treatment within 24 hours of their stroke.
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.
