Home sleep treatment for older adults with memory changes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home sleep therapy program can improve symptoms in older adults who have amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or help compare to people without MCI. It may be useful if your main issue is memory or thinking changes and you also have sleep problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- If you have amnestic MCI, you must be age 55–85
- If you do not have MCI (healthy volunteer), you must be age 40–80
- You should not have a history of seizures or epilepsy
- You should not have had a moderate-to-severe brain injury, major brain surgery, or stroke
- You must not have untreated sleep apnea or severe insomnia
- You should not have metal/implants in your head or a medication infusion device

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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can improve memory and sleep quality in older adults who are worried about their thinking abilities and have poor sleep. You'll receive personalized stimulation sessions, and researchers will track changes in your cognitive function and sleep.
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 if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS) can improve your ability to stand and walk while doing another task. It aims to help older adults with mild memory problems become more stable and reduce fall risk.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation method (called transcranial electrical stimulation) during sleep to see if it can improve deep sleep and help with depression symptoms. It is for adults with moderate depression who also have some memory or thinking complaints.
