Brain stimulation for impulse control in PSP
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique can improve impulse control and thinking in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). If you have PSP and have trouble with making hasty decisions or stopping actions, this treatment might help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 40 and 89 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of probable PSP (a type of Parkinson's-like condition).
- You must be right-handed (left-handed people are not eligible).
- Your medications must be stable for at least 4 weeks before the study and stay the same during the trial.
- You must be able to speak and understand French.
- You must not have any metal implants in your head, a pacemaker, or a history of seizures.
- Your skin on your scalp must be healthy (no psoriasis, eczema, or open sores).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a drug called LM11A-31 to see if it can help people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a rare brain condition. You may join if you have had symptoms for 5 years or less, can walk with minimal help, and have good thinking abilities.
This trial tests whether repeated non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) can improve symptoms in people with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). It may help by targeting brain circuits involved in movement and balance.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve thinking, language, and movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either real or pretend stimulation to see if it helps.
This study tests whether customized transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain activity) can help improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, or progressive supranuclear palsy. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity patterns.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called TMS can help reduce impulse control problems (like gambling or compulsive eating) that are caused by Parkinson's medications. It's for people with Parkinson's who are living with these side effects.
