Brain stimulation at home for mood symptoms in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique, called tDCS, can help improve mood symptoms like depression, anxiety, or irritability in people with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. A caregiver will help with the sessions at home, and all visits are done remotely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a caregiver, like a family member or friend, who can help with the stimulation sessions and answer questions

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment designed to help with difficult mood and behavior symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease. If you are a veteran with mild to moderate Alzheimer's and have troubling symptoms like agitation, the treatment may help improve your quality of life.
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may also include healthy older adults for comparison.
This study looks at using a home device that delivers a mild electrical current to the brain (“tDCS”) over time in people with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. It aims to learn whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful for symptoms.
This study looks at how mild to moderate Alzheimer’s affects response to a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (transcranial direct current stimulation). It may help researchers learn who benefits most and why.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial alternating current) can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It involves regular sessions of stimulation and check-ups over several months.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” brain stimulation approach to improve symptoms in people with early Alzheimer’s-related memory problems. It may help by delivering stimulation based on your brain signals, if you meet the safety and diagnosis requirements.
