Test brain electrical activity in Alzheimer’s with mild memory loss
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This early-stage study looks at electrical seizure-like activity in the brain in people with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease. It aims to understand whether this brain activity is linked to Alzheimer’s and to assess safety and responses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between ages 45 and 70
- Have mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s, with tests suggesting Alzheimer’s biology (biomarkers)
- Have signs of seizure-like electrical activity in specific brain areas (temporal or fronto-temporal regions), seen on brain recordings
- Your study partner or informant must be able to contact you at least weekly
- Have memory/cognition testing showing mild to moderate function (Mini-Mental State Exam 18+ and/or Clinical Dementia Rating under 2)

This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.
This study uses an advanced EEG (electroencephalogram) to measure brain wave activity in people with early Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, or Lewy body dementia. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand the disease and predict how it might progress.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial alternating current) can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It involves regular sessions of stimulation and check-ups over several months.
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 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 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.
