tACS for Aphasia After Stroke

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
This study is evaluating whether a type of electrical stimulation may help improve language recovery for individuals who have had a stroke.
No Placebo Group

Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased

50 Participants Needed

Brain Stimulation for Depression

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The purpose of this research study is to study a closed-loop transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) device to evaluate feasibility of the product in a clinical trial and collect preliminary data on potential effects on symptoms of depression in people with major depressive disorder.

Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased

40 Participants Needed

The purpose of this study is to develop the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of a personalized transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) approach in antenatal depression.
No Placebo Group

Trial Status:Not Yet Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased
Age:18 - 45
Sex:Female

10 Participants Needed

tACS for Aphasia

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this study is to see if transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can be used to enhance language abilities in people with post-stroke aphasia. Participants will receive real and sham tACS in conjunction with various language tests. Researchers will compare the post-stroke aphasia group with aged matched controls to see if brain response to tACS differs between groups.

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased

120 Participants Needed

This project aims to explore the feasibility and effects of a symptom-specific, brain-circuit-based, home-based neuromodulation therapy for addressing mood and memory symptoms in older adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) in the context of dementia.
No Placebo Group

Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased
Age:55+

20 Participants Needed

This trial tests a home-based brain stimulation treatment using gentle electrical currents to improve memory, movement, and thinking skills in older adults with early-stage memory problems. Caregivers are trained to administer the treatment at home. This method has been widely studied for its potential to enhance cognitive function in older adults, including those with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Brain Stimulation for Working Memory

Charlestown, Massachusetts
This study will use novel transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) protocols and electroencephalography (EEG) to modulate and measure brain oscillations that underlie working memory. tACS is a noninvasive method used to modulate the timing and patterns of brain rhythms via weak electric currents passed through electrodes on the scalp.

Trial Phase:Unphased
Age:18 - 35

32 Participants Needed

Anhedonia, the inability to seek-out and experience pleasure, is a common symptom in depression that predicts treatment-resistance and is sometimes exacerbated by first-line antidepressants. In our previous research, we found that anhedonia decreases goal-directed behavior and its related neural activity. In this study, we will investigate target engagement from five-consecutive days of stimulation for participants that are within a unipolar major depressive episode and also have high symptoms of anhedonia.

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

IZ
Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation for Prenatal Depression, Brain Stimulation for Depression and tACS for Aphasia to the Power online platform.
