Brain stimulation for early Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation method called Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with early-stage Alzheimer's (stage 2-6a).
- You are between 60 and 90 years old.
- You can give consent with help from a family caregiver.
- You have a family caregiver who can answer questions.
- You do not have metal implants in your head, bleeding disorders, or blood clots.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called 40Hz BCI (brain-computer interface) might help slow memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease. You would receive daily stimulation sessions at home with help from a caregiver.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical brain stimulation method called tACS can help people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. You may be eligible if you have mild cognitive impairment or early dementia and have been on a common Alzheimer's medication for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial alternating current) can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It involves regular sessions of stimulation and check-ups over several months.
This trial tests whether a form of brain stimulation (theta-burst stimulation) can improve thinking and memory in people with younger-onset Alzheimer’s. It also compares results with people without dementia who meet similar age and health requirements.
