Brain stimulation for memory loss in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you are between 55 and 80, right-handed, and have a confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 80 years old
- You have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease based on memory problems and specific tests
- You are right-handed
- You have a caregiver who can help provide information
- Your thinking and memory scores fall within a certain range (MMSE 10-27 and CDR 0.5-2)
- You have no history of seizures or stroke, and no metal implants in your body

This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.
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 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.
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may also include healthy older adults for comparison.
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.
