Non-surgery brain stimulation for dementia thinking and movement
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can understand the study, share back its purpose and risks, and agree you can quit anytime
- You can read, write, and communicate in English
- You must be able to do the study tasks (no major vision or physical limitations that block participation)
- You should not have certain safety risks for brain stimulation—like a seizure in the past 2 years or specific implanted devices
- You should not have a major untreated mental health condition like schizophrenia/psychosis or major depression

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 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 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 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 electrical stimulation of the brain can change brain signals and support working memory (your ability to hold and use information briefly). It’s mainly for people who don’t have certain brain/mental health conditions and who are able to safely receive this type of stimulation.
