Brain stimulation study to improve memory in aging
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can speak and understand English
- You are willing and able to sign informed consent
- You do not have a major mental health diagnosis (except major depression or general anxiety)
- You do not currently have substance misuse or dependence (nicotine is allowed)
- You do not have implanted devices in your head or chest that affect stimulation (like brain clips/shunts/electrodes, cochlear implants, or pacemakers)
- You have no history that raises seizure risk, and you are not taking seizure-threshold or memory-affecting medications

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation method to help people with memory, especially remembering facts over time. It compares healthy adults and adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using sessions plus brain scans and memory testing.
This trial tests whether a harmless brain stimulation technique called TPS can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild memory problems. You may be able to join if you have MCI, are right-handed, and are generally healthy otherwise.
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.
This study tests whether daily brain stimulation (TMS) can improve the brain's waste-clearing system, which may help with memory and thinking. It is for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the intervention is safe and non-invasive.
This study uses brain stimulation and MRI scans to learn more about memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or brain injuries. It may help researchers understand how to improve treatment.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
