Personalized brain stimulation for memory loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation treatment for older adults with mild memory or thinking problems caused by Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if tailored stimulation can improve cognitive function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old.
- You have mild memory loss or early dementia due to Alzheimer's disease, confirmed by a doctor.
- Your memory and thinking test scores fall within a specific range (MMSE 18-26 and CDR 0.5 or 1).
- You can speak and understand Chinese fluently.
- If you take Alzheimer's medication (like donepezil or rivastigmine), your dose has been stable for at least 6 weeks and will not change during the study.
- You are willing to provide written consent to participate.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may offer a new way to help manage symptoms.
This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique (called tACS) combined with computer-based memory exercises can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Participation involves using the stimulation device at home with the help of a trained caregiver.
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation device that adapts in real time to your brain activity, aiming to improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's. It could help slow down memory decline and improve daily function.
This trial studies a “closed-loop” brain stimulation approach to improve symptoms in people with early Alzheimer’s-related memory problems. It may help by delivering stimulation based on your brain signals, if you meet the safety and diagnosis requirements.
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may also include healthy older adults for comparison.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
