Brain stimulation to help diagnose and manage memory conditions
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies a non-invasive brain-stimulation approach to help doctors assess and manage certain brain-related conditions. You might benefit by contributing to better diagnostic tools and treatment planning for memory and thinking problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of mild memory/thinking problems from Alzheimer’s disease, or Lewy body dementia, or frontotemporal dementia, or idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).
- You do not have a history of seizures.
- You are not pregnant (or able to become pregnant).
- You do not have metal or electronic implants in your head (dental fillings are usually allowed).
- You are 18 years of age or older.

This trial studies a “closed-loop” brain stimulation approach to improve symptoms in people with early Alzheimer’s-related memory problems. It may help by delivering stimulation based on your brain signals, if you meet the safety and diagnosis requirements.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may also include healthy older adults for comparison.
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.
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 is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
