Brain stimulation study for memory and thinking concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new brain stimulation method that may help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses to the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have noticed some memory or thinking problems
- You are in good general health
- You have normal or corrected vision (glasses or contacts are fine)
- You have completed at least elementary school

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether daily brain stimulation (TMS) can improve the brain's waste-clearing system, which may help with memory and thinking. It is for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the intervention is safe and non-invasive.
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 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.
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 painless brain stimulation technique (called tACS) combined with computer-based memory exercises can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Participation involves using the stimulation device at home with the help of a trained caregiver.
