NCT ID NCT06477107
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a mild electrical current applied to the scalp (tDCS) can increase blood flow to the brain in people with Moyamoya disease or hardened brain arteries. Researchers will measure changes in blood flow using MRI and check if thinking skills improve. The study involves 50 adults with reduced brain blood flow and mild memory or thinking problems.
