Brain stimulation and exercise for memory and mood
This study tests whether combining rTMS (a non‑invasive brain stimulation) with aerobic exercise can improve memory, thinking, and mood in older adults who have mild memory problems and depression. It may offer a safe, drug‑free way to help both brain health and emotional well‑being.
Taipei, Taipei CityAges 65–90 - NCT07667478Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for early Alzheimer's memory loss
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 121 recruiting repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
