TMS for Early Alzheimer's Disease Pilot
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain treatment, can help people with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective for slowing memory decline.
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.
- You have test results (like a PET scan or spinal tap) showing amyloid buildup in your brain.
- You've had a brain scan done before (MRI or CT).
- You score above 24 on a memory test (MMSE) and your stage is mild (CDR 0.5 to 1).
- You are between 40 and 90 years old.
- You are on a stable dose of Alzheimer's medications for at least one month and do not have seizures or metal implants that prevent an MRI.

This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) to target the cerebellum in people with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms and cognitive function.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep repetitive TMS on a brain region linked to memory. It aims to see if this treatment can improve symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help people with early Alzheimer's disease or related memory problems. It's a safe, gentle way to stimulate brain cells using magnetic pulses.
This trial tests a new, noninvasive treatment that combines magnetic and electrical stimulation to target a specific brain network in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It aims to slow memory decline and improve brain function.
This study tests whether magnetic stimulation of the brain can improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's. You would receive a gentle magnetic pulse to a specific area of your head during several sessions.
This study tests whether a noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment can slow down cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. You'll receive daily sessions over several weeks, and the goal is to see if it helps preserve memory and thinking skills.
