Brain stimulation for mood and behavior in Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a veteran between 60 and 85 years old
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's or a related dementia
- You have troublesome mood or behavior symptoms (like agitation or anxiety)
- You have a caregiver who can bring you to visits and help with treatment at home
- You are stable on any psychiatric medications you are taking for at least 4 weeks

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.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It mainly looks at people with mild to moderate dementia and checks whether results differ based on how the treatment is applied.
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 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.
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 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.
