Non-drug brain stimulation with memory training
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach, combined with memory training, can improve memory and thinking in older adults. It’s meant for people with mild memory concerns but without dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 65 and 85 years old
- Your thinking/memory screening score (MMSE) is 24 or higher
- Your mood and daily functioning screening score (GDS) is 11 or lower
- You’ve had at least 5 years of education
- You do not have dementia or other major pre-existing language/thinking problems (like aphasia or neglect)
- You don’t have serious psychiatric or other neurologic conditions that could affect testing, or physical/sensory problems that make the training hard

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
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 a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (early memory loss that isn't yet dementia). Participants will receive the stimulation treatment and have their cognitive function monitored over time.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS—similar to a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp) can improve thinking and memory problems that sometimes occur alongside recurring depression in people over 60. You'll receive the treatment alongside your regular depression care.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
