Brain stimulation for multiple sclerosis symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS).
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your disability level is moderate (between 2.0 and 6.0 on the EDSS scale).
- Your MS has been stable for at least 3 months, and you have been on the same disease-modifying therapy for at least 3 months.
- You can walk on your own or with a cane/walker, and you have no history of seizures or implanted devices like a pacemaker.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve balance in people with multiple sclerosis. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain.
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 two non-invasive brain stimulation treatments—TMS and tDCS—to see if they can reduce fatigue in people with relapsing-remitting MS. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to help you feel less tired.
This study tests two non-invasive treatments—magnetic pulses to the brain and mild electrical stimulation to arm muscles—to see if they can improve hand movement and daily tasks in people with multiple sclerosis. Participation may help you use your hands more easily.
