Brain stimulation and virtual reality for memory loss
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and virtual reality exercises to help improve memory and thinking. It is for people aged 55 and older who have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a condition that can affect memory but is not dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
- You scored 18 or higher on a thinking and memory test called the MoCA
- You do not have a history of seizures or a family history of seizures
- You do not have an implanted medical device (like a pacemaker) and are not taking medications that raise seizure risk

This study tests two gentle brain stimulation methods combined with memory training for people with mild memory loss. It aims to help improve thinking and memory skills over 8 weeks at a psychiatric hospital in Mexico City.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called iTBS on an area of the brain that may help with thinking and memory problems in people with Parkinson's disease and mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you and your caregiver would take part in sessions and answer questions about your daily life.
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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help clear waste from the brain in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The goal is to see if this improves memory and thinking.
