Theta-burst brain stimulation for younger-onset Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (theta-burst stimulation) can improve thinking and memory in people with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. It also compares results with people without dementia who meet similar age and health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer’s dementia, based on established medical criteria and biological evidence
- Symptoms of dementia started before age 65
- You are age 50 to 75
- Your dementia is mild to moderate (not too severe right now)
- For controls only: you have no dementia, with very normal thinking tests
- You can give consent, and your family can also consent if needed

This study tests a brain stimulation approach (TBS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment. It may also explore why it works by looking at brain-related measurements after TBS.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (temporal interference stimulation) to see if it can improve memory in people with early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to understand how the stimulation affects brain function.
This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation method called Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may offer a new way to help manage symptoms.
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.
This study tests a new brain stimulation method that may help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses to the brain.
