Brain stimulation study for frontotemporal dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years old or older.
- You must have a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (a type of dementia that affects behavior and language).
- You cannot have a cardiac pacemaker or any metal implants that are not safe with magnetic fields.
- You cannot have a history of epilepsy or seizures.
- You cannot be pregnant (if you are a woman of childbearing age).

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 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.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people with frontotemporal lobar degeneration. It is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that may improve symptoms.
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.
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 new brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to help slow cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease or frontotemporal dementia. Researchers will combine this stimulation with cognitive training to see if it improves memory and thinking skills.
