Brain stimulation for early Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation method called tACS can help people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. You may be eligible if you have mild cognitive impairment or early dementia and have been on a common Alzheimer's medication for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early Alzheimer's disease or a related condition diagnosed by a doctor
- Your memory and thinking tests show mild to moderate problems (MMSE score between 10 and 27)
- You have been on a standard Alzheimer's medication (like donepezil) for at least 3 months
- You do not have a history of seizures, strokes, or other serious brain conditions
- You do not have a pacemaker or any implanted device in your body
- You have not had a substance abuse problem in the last 6 months

This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation method called Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” brain stimulation approach to improve symptoms in people with early Alzheimer’s-related memory problems. It may help by delivering stimulation based on your brain signals, if you meet the safety and diagnosis requirements.
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 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 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.
