Brain stimulation to improve memory in older adults with mild memory problems
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 85 years old
- You have mild memory problems, either diagnosed as mild cognitive impairment or you have memory concerns and a close relative with Alzheimer's disease
- You score 24 or higher on a standard memory test
- You are willing to undergo brain magnetic stimulation (TMS) sessions and can attend the treatment schedule
- Your medications have been stable for at least 2 months and are not expected to change during the study
- You do not have metal in your head (like an ear implant), a pacemaker, or a history of seizures or certain other brain conditions

This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (early memory loss that isn't yet dementia). Participants will receive the stimulation treatment and have their cognitive function monitored over time.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
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 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 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.
