First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new way to treat brain fog in people with post-treatment Lyme disease. Participants will play computer-based thinking games at home while receiving either real or fake brain stimulation (tDCS) for 4 weeks. Researchers will check if the active stimulation improves processing speed and if the benefits last 8 weeks later. The study involves 110 adults who still have cognitive problems despite prior antibiotic treatment.
