Deep rTMS for mild memory problems in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep rTMS can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if this treatment can improve cognitive function without major side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 60 and 90 years old
- You have noticed a mild decline in your memory or thinking over the past year
- You can still do your daily activities independently (like dressing, cooking, managing money)

- You are not currently being treated for bipolar disorder, psychosis, severe depression, or severe anxiety

This study tests a type of brain stimulation called Deep TMS to help reduce depression and improve or stabilize memory-related symptoms in older adults with Alzheimer’s disease. It’s mainly for people whose depression did not improve or could not be tolerated with antidepressant medicine.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called accelerated neuromodulation, aimed at improving memory and thinking in older adults with mild memory issues. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate a part of the brain linked to memory.
This study tests a new, faster brain stimulation method for depression in adults aged 60-85 who haven't improved with medication. The treatment targets a part of the brain linked to mood and may offer relief for those who have not found other treatments effective.
This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation (dTMS) can help people who are worried about their memory. It is for people who have a family history of Alzheimer's but are still thinking clearly.
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 repeated magnetic pulses to the brain (called rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild to moderate cognitive decline. The treatment is non-invasive and may help slow cognitive changes.
