Testing brain stimulation for memory in mild memory loss
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 95 years old.
- You have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with a certain score on a memory test (adjusted for education).
- You are right-handed and can use a computer mouse and click a button inside an MRI scanner.
- You do not have any metal implants, pacemaker, or other conditions that make MRI unsafe.

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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
This study looks at how the brain changes in people with mild memory problems. It uses brain scans and a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation to see if we can improve brain function.
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 trial tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to weekly memory and thinking exercises can help people with mild dementia. It is designed for older adults who speak Cantonese and are right-handed.
