Studying brain activity in Alzheimer's disease
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at abnormal electrical activity in the brain that can happen in people with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. It aims to better understand this activity, which might help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 70 years old
- You have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease
- You have been found to have abnormal electrical activity (epileptic activity) in certain parts of the brain
- You have a caregiver or family member who can be in contact with you at least once a week
- You are not currently taking anti-seizure medications
- You must be able to participate in the study visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a new type of brain stimulation (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) with a larger coil can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves multiple sessions of rTMS and MRI scans.
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 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 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 is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (using magnetic fields to activate brain cells), can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It is a potential option for those looking to explore additional treatment approaches.
This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
