This study tested whether an optimized multichannel tDCS (a gentle brain stimulation technique) works better than standard tDCS or a fake treatment for easing depression. Sixty adults with moderate-to-severe major depression received one of the three approaches. The goal was to s…

This study tested a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS in 42 adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Participants were split into three groups to see if the treatment could reduce OCD symptoms, improve quality of life, and boost memory and attention. Th…

This study tested whether mild electrical stimulation (tDCS and tRNS) applied to the front of the brain could improve thinking and memory in 36 adults with schizophrenia. Participants completed memory and problem-solving tasks after receiving each type of stimulation. The goal wa…

This study tested whether repeated electrical brain stimulation could help with mental health and thinking problems in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). 53 adults with MS took part in a double-blind trial where some received the stimulation and others did not. The goal was to …

This study tested a new way to stimulate the brain using two gentle techniques (tACS and iTBS) to improve working memory in 30 healthy adults. The goal was to see if these methods could strengthen brain waves linked to memory, which are often weak in Alzheimer's disease. While no…

This study tested whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called tACS) at a specific frequency (40 Hz) could strengthen brain waves linked to memory in 30 healthy older adults aged 50-80. The goal was to see which brain areas to stimulate for the best effect, wh…
