Brain stimulation for Alzheimer's-related memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique to improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's-related mild cognitive impairment (AD-MCI). It uses magnetic pulses to boost brain activity, and might help slow down memory loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 85 years old.
- You have mild memory or thinking problems (MCI) thought to be from Alzheimer’s disease.
- You are able to cooperate with the research visits and assessments.
- You have not had a stroke that caused lasting symptoms or brain damage.
- You do not have other brain conditions like epilepsy, brain injury, or past encephalitis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.
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.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have MCI due to early Alzheimer's, this study may help find new ways to boost memory.
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.
