NCT ID NCT04296604
First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve executive functions—like memory, attention, and decision-making—in people with conditions such as traumatic brain injury, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, or substance use disorders. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive tasks after stimulation. The goal is to understand how tDCS affects thinking, not to cure or treat the underlying conditions.
