Magnetic brain stimulation for memory concerns with family Alzheimer's history
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation (dTMS) can help people who are worried about their memory. It is for people who have a family history of Alzheimer's but are still thinking clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a parent, brother, or sister with Alzheimer's disease (not the early-onset type)
- You feel your memory is getting worse and you're worried about it
- You score 26 or higher on a memory test called the MoCA (a quick paper test)
- You have a friend or family member who can answer questions about you for the study
- You are not currently depressed and have never had seizures, epilepsy, or certain psychiatric conditions

This study tests a type of brain stimulation called Deep TMS to help reduce depression and improve or stabilize memory-related symptoms in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. It’s mainly for people whose depression did not improve or could not be tolerated with antidepressant medicine.
This study tests whether a noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment can slow down cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. You'll receive daily sessions over several weeks, and the goal is to see if it helps preserve memory and thinking skills.
This study tests whether a new type of brain stimulation (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) with a larger coil can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves multiple sessions of rTMS and MRI scans.
This trial is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (using magnetic fields to activate brain cells), can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It is a potential option for those looking to explore additional treatment approaches.
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 study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It mainly looks at people with mild to moderate dementia and checks whether results differ based on how the treatment is applied.
