tDCS for Cancer-Related Fatigue and Weakness

Starting soon · Early Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Cancer-related Fatigue, Neuromodulation

In brief

This pilot study investigates the effectiveness of non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) in alleviating cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and muscle weakness. Using a randomized, double-blind crossover design, participants perform fatiguing muscle tasks with and without tDCS, and outcomes include task endurance, maximal voluntary contraction force, and neuromuscular markers. Neural mechanisms will be assessed via EEG, TMS, and MRI.
