Brain stimulation study for mild memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 55 and 85 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or very early-stage dementia.
- You are right-handed.
- You do not have a history of stroke, brain injury, or brain tumor.
- You do not have a serious mental health condition like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or psychosis, and you do not take strong psychiatric medications.

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (early memory loss that isn't yet dementia). Participants will receive the stimulation treatment and have their cognitive function monitored over time.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have MCI due to early Alzheimer's, this study may help find new ways to boost memory.
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.
This trial tests whether a type of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) can improve thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease. You may be eligible if you have these diagnoses, are on stable medications, and can safely complete brain scan/testing.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called accelerated neuromodulation, aimed at improving memory and thinking in older adults with mild memory issues. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate a part of the brain linked to memory.
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.
