Magnetic brain stimulation for early memory loss
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of gentle brain stimulation called iTBS to see if it can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to activate brain areas involved in memory.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease
- Your memory and thinking problems are mild (a doctor's rating of 0.5 or 1 on a standard scale)
- You have not had a stroke
- You do not have seizures that are not well controlled
- You have not had a serious head injury with lasting effects
- You do not have a major mental illness or drug abuse problem

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment (TMS) can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. You would receive the treatment and be monitored for safety and benefit.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a noninvasive brain stimulation technique) can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You and a close contact, like a spouse or friend, will both take part in the study over several sessions.
