Study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Treat Epilepsy
NCT05673915 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30
Last updated 2026-01-28
Summary
The purpose of this research is to see to what extent electrical stimulation applied to the scalp (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) can reduce the number and intensity of epileptic seizures.
