PEMF treatment for people with dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's or related dementias. If you or a loved one has memory loss, this trial looks at a potential new way to support brain health without medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help with memory and thinking problems caused by small blood vessel damage in the brain. It's for people with vascular dementia or a milder form called vascular mild cognitive impairment.
This trial tests whether a pulsed electromagnetic field (a non-drug device that uses magnetic pulses) can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s. Participants typically stay on stable Alzheimer’s medicines and follow daily home treatments during the study.
This trial tests whether daily, long-term use of pulsed electromagnetic fields applied to the head can help reduce Parkinson's symptoms. It is for people with mild to moderate Parkinson's who are not on certain blood thinners and have no major health complications like other neurological diseases or active implants.
This study tests a device called MemorEM to see how it works for people with brain diseases that cause memory and thinking problems (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS). It aims to understand your experience with the device.
This trial tests a treatment that sends gentle electrical pulses to a part of the brain involved in memory and thinking. It is for people with early-stage Alzheimer's who live at home and have a caregiver who can help.
This trial tests a device called MemorEM to see how patients with neurological diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's experience it. It aims to understand if the device is comfortable and easy to use.
