Brain stimulation study for older adults with mild memory loss
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older and live in the community (not in a nursing home).
- You have been diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) – mild memory issues that don't stop you from doing daily tasks.
- You are right-handed.
- You do not have depression, anxiety, dementia, or other psychiatric conditions.
- You have not had alcohol or drug abuse problems, and you are not taking medications that affect your thinking or memory.
- You do not have bleeding disorders like hemophilia, or take blood thinners.

This study tests a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation method to help people with memory, especially remembering facts over time. It compares healthy adults and adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using sessions plus brain scans and memory testing.
This study tests a new brain stimulation method that may help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses to the brain.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
This study tests whether daily brain stimulation (TMS) can improve the brain's waste-clearing system, which may help with memory and thinking. It is for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the intervention is safe and non-invasive.
This study tests a brain stimulation approach (TBS) to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment. It may also explore why it works by looking at brain-related measurements after TBS.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tACS) can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A caregiver also helps with the stimulation during the study, and success is measured through study visits and memory-related evaluations.
