Brain stimulation for MS fatigue
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce fatigue in people with relapsing-remitting MS. It compares people with and without fatigue to understand how the brain is affected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).
- Your MS symptoms or disability level is mild (EDSS score of 4 or less).
- You have been diagnosed with MS for no more than 10 years.
- Your MS treatment has been the same (or you've had no treatment) for the past 6 months.
- You do not have other serious medical conditions (like other autoimmune diseases, certain psychiatric disorders, or sleep disorders) and are not taking certain medications like antidepressants.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether doing exercises at home combined with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (gentle electrical stimulation on your scalp) can reduce the exhaustion and tiredness that comes with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if this combination helps you feel less fatigued and improves your ability to stay active.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help treat depression in people with multiple sclerosis who haven't benefited enough from antidepressants or therapy. The goal is to see if TMS is safe and effective for this specific group.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tDCS) can help people with multiple sclerosis. It involves brain stimulation sessions and MRI scans to see if the treatment improves symptoms or brain function.
This study will test different parts of cognitive behavioral therapy to see which ones help with fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. You will participate in sessions that may involve changing thoughts about fatigue, scheduling activities, or addressing related emotions like depression or anxiety.
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 whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with multiple sclerosis who have leg stiffness and weakness. You will receive daily sessions over two weeks to see if it improves walking and quality of life.
