Brain stimulation for Lewy body dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to see if it helps people with Lewy body dementia. It uses mild electrical currents to gently stimulate parts of the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia that meets standard medical criteria
- You must not have a pacemaker or any metal implants that could be affected by magnetic fields
- You must not have had epilepsy or seizures in the past
- You cannot be pregnant

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) in people with frontotemporal dementia. The goal is to see if it can improve symptoms like behavior and language problems.
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 trial tests a noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) treatment for people with dementia with Lewy bodies. The treatment aims to help improve thinking and memory. It involves 1–2 weeks of daily sessions, and you'll have memory tests and brain scans during the study.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can improve sentence understanding in people with Parkinson’s disease–related mild cognitive impairment or mild cognitive impairment from Lewy body disease. It also compares results with healthy volunteers who do not have Lewy body or other memory/brain disorders.
This trial studies a non-invasive brain-stimulation approach to help doctors assess and manage certain brain-related conditions. You might benefit by contributing to better diagnostic tools and treatment planning for memory and thinking problems.
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.
