Summary

This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve movement, balance, fatigue, sleep, and thinking in people with multiple sclerosis. Forty adults with MS will receive either real or sham stimulation over two weeks. Researchers will check if the treatment leads to real improvements in daily life and brain activity.
