Brain stimulation and imaging study for memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain stimulation and MRI scans to learn more about memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or brain injuries. It may help researchers understand how to improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 25 years old.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, no claustrophobia, etc.).
- You must have completed 8 or more years of school.
- You must be fluent in English.
- You must either have a memory condition (like dementia or brain injury) or be a healthy older adult.
- For the memory condition group: you must be seen at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and have a Mini Mental State Exam score of 16 or lower.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a targeted, non-surgical brain stimulation method to help people with memory, especially remembering facts over time. It compares healthy adults and adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), using sessions plus brain scans and memory testing.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
This study tests a new brain stimulation method that may help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses to the brain.
This study tests whether daily brain stimulation (TMS) can improve the brain's waste-clearing system, which may help with memory and thinking. It is for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the intervention is safe and non-invasive.
This trial tests whether a harmless brain stimulation technique called TPS can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild memory problems. You may be able to join if you have MCI, are right-handed, and are generally healthy otherwise.
This study looks at how the brain supports remembering your own past experiences. It tests brain mechanisms using brain scanning (MRI) and noninvasive brain stimulation to see how these memory processes work.
