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 magnetic stimulation of the brain can improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's. You would receive a gentle magnetic pulse to a specific area of your head during several sessions.
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 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.
