Home brain stimulation for memory and walking concerns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle brain-stimulation device used at home can help older adults who have both memory worries and slower walking. A study partner will help you use the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 90 years old.
- You feel your memory is worse than most, or your mind is not as clear as it used to be.
- You walk a bit slower than others your age and sex.
- You can walk without help for at least 2 minutes at a time.
- You have a family member or friend who can help you use the brain-stimulation device at home.
- You have reliable internet (WiFi) at home.

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tES) can improve thinking and movement problems in people with dementia. You (and your caregiver, if needed) will be asked to follow the study plan and attend visits so researchers can measure results and safety.
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 trial tests if a gentle electrical stimulation device used at home can help older adults who feel their thinking is not as sharp as before and walk more slowly. You would use the device daily and be monitored by the research team.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (called transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS) can improve your ability to stand and walk while doing another task. It aims to help older adults with mild memory problems become more stable and reduce fall risk.
