Home brain stimulation for thinking and walking concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation device used at home can help older adults who feel their thinking is not as sharp as before and walk more slowly. You would use the device daily and be monitored by the research team.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a gentle brain-stimulation device used at home can help older adults who have both memory worries and slower walking. A study partner will help you use the device.
This study tests whether a structured walking exercise, combined with brain stimulation and brain scans, can improve or slow decline in thinking skills. It’s aimed at older adults who notice memory or confusion getting worse.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS) can improve your ability to stand and walk while doing another task. It aims to help older adults with mild memory problems become more stable and reduce fall risk.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve movement and walking in people who have trouble with motor function. You can join if you're able to walk daily, with or without a walking aid, and don't have metal in your brain.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
This study tests whether high-frequency electrical stimulation of the brain can help improve thinking, movement, and mood in older adults who may or may not have early signs of memory decline. Participants will get sessions of stimulation and complete thinking and walking tasks.
