A Teleheath tDCS Approach to Decrease Cannabis Use: Towards Reducing Multiple Sclerosis Disability

NYU Langone Health·interventional·Posted Aug 13, 2021·Updated Jun 24, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), Sham - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), and 1 other intervention for Cannabis Use Disorder and Multiple Sclerosis. Completed, enrolled 52 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The study aims to evaluate the effect of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in decreasing distress and cannabis use. 46 participants with Relapse Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and elevated distress (K10 score of 10-35) will be recruited.

Interventions

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)other

tDCS is noninvasive brain stimulation device that modulates brain activity by delivering a low-intensity electrical current (2.0 mA) through sponge electrodes placed on the scalp.

Sham - Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)other

The tDCS device is programmed to mimic active tDCS.

Mindfulnessother

Participants will follow an audio track for guided mindfulness during the stimulation.
