Brain stimulation frequency study for people with dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests different frequencies of gentle electrical brain stimulation to see which works best for memory and thinking. It is designed for people with mild to moderate dementia, not caused by Parkinson's or other brain conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 95 years old
- You have a diagnosis of dementia and your memory/thinking score (MoCA) is between 5 and 24
- You do not have Parkinson's disease, Parkinsonian dementia, Huntington's, significant aphasia, intellectual disability, or major mental health issues like bipolar or schizophrenia
- You have no history of seizures or epilepsy
- You can communicate in English and see/hear well enough for cognitive tests
- You are not currently in another dementia treatment study and have not recently changed your dementia medications

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve memory and thinking in people with dementia. By measuring your brain waves first, researchers hope to tailor the stimulation to your specific needs.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
This study is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation approach (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may be invited because your Parkinson’s is typical and your memory testing shows you do not have dementia.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
