Brain stimulation and MRI study for memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses brain stimulation and MRI to study memory problems in people with neurodegenerative diseases or traumatic brain injury. It aims to understand how the brain changes and may help guide future treatments.
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 (no metal implants, pacemaker, etc.).
- You must have completed at least 8 years of formal schooling.
- You must be fluent in English.
- For people with memory problems: you have a diagnosis of a brain disease or traumatic brain injury that causes memory issues, and your memory test score is 16 or lower.
- For healthy volunteers: you have no memory or brain condition and are the same age and sex as someone in the memory-problem group.

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 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 trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help clear waste from the brain in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The goal is to see if this improves memory and thinking.
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.
This study uses a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and virtual reality exercises to help improve memory and thinking. It is for people aged 55 and older who have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a condition that can affect memory but is not dementia.
