First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with computer-based thinking exercises can improve attention, memory, and problem-solving in children aged 8–17 with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). About 70 kids will be randomly assigned to receive either real or fake stimulation during cognitive training. The goal is to see if this approach can ease symptoms like poor focus and slow thinking.
