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.

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 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 whether a structured walking exercise, combined with brain stimulation and brain scans, can improve or slow decline in thinking skills. It’s aimed at older adults who notice memory or confusion getting worse.
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.
