Study how brain stimulation may work in mild Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how mild to moderate Alzheimer’s affects response to a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial direct current stimulation). It may help researchers learn who benefits most and why.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease
- Your memory/thinking test score is between 18 and 25 on the MoCA
- During screening, you can complete the N-back attention/memory task
- You do not have a history of stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- You do not have implanted shunts or metal in your body
- You do not have major heart problems or a history of heavy alcohol/drug use

This trial tests whether a stronger form of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s improve word-finding (naming). If you qualify, you’ll be assessed before and during the study to see whether the stimulation improves naming ability.
This study looks at using a home device that delivers a mild electrical current to the brain (“tDCS”) over time in people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It aims to learn whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful for symptoms.
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 trial tests whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you have these diagnoses, are on stable medications, and can safely complete brain scan/testing.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique, called tDCS, can help improve mood symptoms like depression, anxiety, or irritability in people with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. A caregiver will help with the sessions at home, and all visits are done remotely.
