Brain stimulation for memory loss from small vessel disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation can improve memory and thinking in people whose cognitive problems are caused by cerebral small vessel disease (damage to the small blood vessels in the brain). You may qualify if you have mild memory or thinking issues that have lasted at least three months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 80 years old.
- You have mild memory or thinking problems (like trouble remembering or focusing) that have lasted at least 3 months.
- You have been diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease (damage to small brain blood vessels) based on an MRI scan.
- You are independent in daily life (can take care of yourself without help from others).
- You have been taking the same medications for your condition for at least 4 weeks.

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 tests whether combining brain training exercises with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment linked to vascular problems. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain while patients do thinking tasks.
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 whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
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 looks at thinking and memory problems in people with cerebral small vessel disease. It uses computer tests and may include a type of brain stimulation to understand how the brain works and find better ways to help.
