Warmth and TENS to improve thinking in dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a warmth treatment and a gentle electrical nerve-stimulation device (TENS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild to moderate dementia. It may help by supporting brain and nerve function, alongside your usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or mixed-type dementia
- Your dementia is mild or moderate (not severe)
- Your dementia-related and other medicines have stayed the same for at least 3 months
- You live in the community and have at least one caregiver at home
- You can follow simple instructions and you (or your family) can agree to join the study
- You cannot have a pacemaker or be in a long-term care home during the treatment

This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve memory and thinking in people with dementia. By measuring your brain waves first, researchers hope to tailor the stimulation to your specific needs.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tES) can improve thinking and movement problems in people with dementia. You (and your caregiver, if needed) will be asked to follow the study plan and attend visits so researchers can measure results and safety.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and cognitive training to improve memory and thinking in people with mild Alzheimer's. It may help if you are already on a stable dose of a donepezil-type medication and have a confirmed Alzheimer's diagnosis.
This study tests different frequencies of gentle electrical brain stimulation to see which works best for memory and thinking. It is designed for people with mild to moderate dementia, not caused by Parkinson's or other brain conditions.
This study tests two types of training—cognitive (brain) and movement exercises—for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. The goal is to see if these activities together can help improve thinking, memory, and physical function.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
