Treating insomnia in mild memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method (TMS) combined with cognitive training can improve sleep in older adults with mild memory issues. It may help if you have trouble falling or staying asleep and have early memory changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 60 or older
- Speak and read English
- Have mild memory decline (diagnosed MCI or subjective cognitive decline)
- Have had insomnia symptoms (trouble falling asleep or waking up often) for at least 3 months
- Have internet and a computer or tablet at home (or can use one provided by the study)

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can improve sleep in people with moderate to severe insomnia. You would come to the University of Arizona for several sessions, and the treatment is painless and doesn't require surgery.
This study tests whether accelerated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve sleep architecture and quality in people with chronic insomnia. The treatment may help you fall asleep faster and sleep longer without medication.
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) to improve sleep in adults with insomnia. It may help if you have trouble sleeping and haven't tried certain other treatments.
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 study tests whether giving a specific type of brain stimulation (rTMS) at the right time can help make insomnia treatment work better. It may be an option for people ages 25 to 45 who have trouble sleeping and live near Stanford University.
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.
