Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Cognition in Adults With Multiple Sclerosis or Encephalitis

Johns Hopkins University·interventional·Posted Sep 2, 2015·Updated Apr 6, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Sham Transcranial direct current stimulation and Anodal Transcranial direct current stimulation for Multiple Sclerosis and Encephalitis. Completed, enrolled 7 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This research is being done to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve certain mental abilities in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) or encephalitis. Participants will be asked to come in daily for two full weeks during which time participants will undergo cognitive testing and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain scans. In this research, a very weak electrical current is administered to the surface of the scalp while participants complete cognitive tasks. The investigators' aim is to find out whether tDCS will improve task performance in adults with multiple sclerosis or encephalitis.
