Brain stimulation therapy for early Alzheimer’s memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 to 80 years old
- You have early memory changes (amnesic mild cognitive impairment) with Alzheimer’s disease likely supported by Alzheimer’s test results
- You speak English as your native language
- You do not have a known structural brain problem like a tumor or prior cortical stroke
- You do not have serious or unstable medical conditions (like recent stroke, heart failure, or active cancer)
- You cannot have certain tACS safety issues, such as seizure history or scalp lesions where stimulation would be placed

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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may offer a new way to help manage symptoms.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
This trial studies a non-invasive brain-stimulation approach to help doctors assess and manage certain brain-related conditions. You might benefit by contributing to better diagnostic tools and treatment planning for memory and thinking problems.
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 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.
