Official title
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to Improve Fatigue and Cognitive Function During Breast Cancer Chemotherapy: A Feasibility Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This research is being done to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve fatigue and certain thinking skills in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a form of brain stimulation during which low amounts of electrical current are delivered to the brain using electrodes attached to the scalp. The idea of using electrical stimulation to affect neurological symptoms has been around for more than 100 years with the first reported use in 1801. Since the 1960s, tDCS has been used in research for a variety of reasons including stroke rehabilitation, memory enhancement and for depression. People aged 18 or older who are currently receiving chemotherapy with docetaxel and who are experiencing fatigue may join.
