Noninvasive brain stimulation for thinking and language issues
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve sentence understanding in people with Parkinson’s disease–related mild cognitive impairment or mild cognitive impairment from Lewy body disease. It also compares results with healthy volunteers who do not have Lewy body or other memory/brain disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are right-handed.
- You speak Czech as your first language.
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You have mild thinking problems from Parkinson’s disease (PD-MCI) or from Lewy body disease (MCI-LB).
- You do not have a heart pacemaker or any metal that cannot safely go into an MRI scanner.

This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help reduce psychotic symptoms, like hallucinations, in people with dementia with Lewy bodies. It also looks at how this might ease the day-to-day burden on caregivers.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve thinking, language, and movement problems in people with Parkinson's disease. You will receive either real or pretend stimulation to see if it helps.
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 trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to see if it helps people with Lewy body dementia. It uses mild electrical currents to gently stimulate parts of the brain.
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
