Testing brain stimulation to improve memory in mild impairment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tACS) can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A caregiver also helps with the stimulation during the study, and success is measured through study visits and memory-related evaluations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 55 or older and have a clinical diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
- Be able to understand and sign the informed consent, and follow all study instructions
- Have a caregiver age 21+ who can use a computer or tablet
- Agree to have a pregnancy test during screening if you can become pregnant
- Be able to safely have MRI scans and receive tACS (no unsafe metal, implants, or devices)

This study looks at how the brain supports remembering your own past experiences. It tests brain mechanisms using brain scanning (MRI) and noninvasive brain stimulation to see how these memory processes work.
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 trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help clear waste from the brain in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The goal is to see if this improves memory and thinking.
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.
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 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.
