This study is testing if combining active transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with computerized cognitive training can help children and adolescents (ages 8-17) who have Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) due to prenatal alcohol exposure. Participants will receive either active tDCS or a sham (inactive) tDCS, along with cognitive training. Researchers will measure changes in attention and executive function (skills like planning and problem-solving) to see if the treatments are successful. The study is currently recruiting about 70 participants.

Study design

This is a randomized placebo-controlled study involving about 70 participants. It compares active tDCS with cognitive training to sham tDCS with cognitive training.

What's involved

You would have a baseline visit with cognitive testing, followed by 5 sessions of tDCS and cognitive training over approximately 5 weeks. There will be a final visit for cognitive testing.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your performance on certain tests will be measured after each study visit (about every two weeks) for the duration of the study (10 visits, approximately 5 weeks).
