Test of tDCS for improving walking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement and walking in people who have trouble with motor function. You can join if you're able to walk daily, with or without a walking aid, and don't have metal in your brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are able to walk on your own or with a walker or cane.
- You walk every day.
- You can speak, understand, and read English well enough to follow instructions.
- You do not have any metal devices or implants inside your brain.

This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help improve movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have Parkinson's, this might be an option to explore.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment can help improve walking ability in people who have had a stroke. It compares the effects of the treatment in stroke survivors and healthy adults to see if it can enhance recovery.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can improve your ability to walk while doing a second task, like talking or carrying something. It is for people who have had a stroke and can walk on their own.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation method (“cortical priming”) can improve walking after a stroke. It may help people with ongoing walking problems improve gait and leg control over a rehabilitation program.
This study combines a mild electrical brain stimulation (tDCS) with Nordic walking (walking with poles) to see if it helps improve walking and balance in people with Parkinson's disease. The treatment lasts 4 weeks and may be an option if you have a slow walking pace and no implanted brain devices.
