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 whether a new type of brain stimulation (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) with a larger coil can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves multiple sessions of rTMS and MRI scans.
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 study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called TMS can improve the balance of bacteria in your gut and help with Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. If you have dementia and are aged 50 or older, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can help reduce troubling behavioral and psychological symptoms (like agitation or anxiety) in people with early Alzheimer's disease. Participants continue their usual medication and receive either real or fake stimulation to see if it improves symptoms.
This trial is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (using magnetic fields to activate brain cells), can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It is a potential option for those looking to explore additional treatment approaches.
