Brain stimulation and training for mild dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to weekly memory and thinking exercises can help people with mild dementia. It is designed for older adults who speak Cantonese and are right-handed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older
- You are right-handed and speak Cantonese
- You have been diagnosed with mild dementia (a memory and thinking condition)
- You are not currently on any new memory medications, or if you are, your dose hasn't changed in the last 6 months
- You do not have a current serious mood disorder or substance problem

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.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
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 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 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.
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.
