TMS with cognitive training for mild Alzheimer's dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation (TMS) and cognitive training to improve memory and thinking in people with mild Alzheimer's. It may help if you are already on a stable dose of a donepezil-type medication and have a confirmed Alzheimer's diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 85 years old.
- You have mild Alzheimer's disease confirmed by a special brain scan (amyloid PET-CT).
- You have been taking a medication like donepezil for at least 2 months at the same dose.
- You score between 21 and 26 on the MMSE memory test, and your dementia stage is rated as mild (CDR 1 or GDS 3).
- You can attend all visits for 24 weeks with a caregiver who can help consent.
- You speak Korean as your first language and have no other brain conditions that explain your memory loss.

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.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep repetitive TMS on a brain region linked to memory. It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation treatment for older adults with mild memory or thinking problems caused by Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if tailored stimulation can improve cognitive function.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain treatment, can help people with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective for slowing memory decline.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial alternating current) can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It involves regular sessions of stimulation and check-ups over several months.
This trial tests a new, noninvasive treatment that combines magnetic and electrical stimulation to target a specific brain network in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It aims to slow memory decline and improve brain function.
