Brain Stimulation Study for Early Memory Loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This Johns Hopkins study tests a personalized brain stimulation device that adjusts in real-time to help people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease improve memory. Researchers will implant electrodes to stimulate the brain based on your brain activity, aiming to strengthen memory function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 45–85 years old
- Diagnosed with probable Alzheimer's disease confirmed by memory testing and biomarkers (blood or imaging tests)
- Fluent in English and completed high school education
- Hearing good enough to participate (hearing loss not worse than 25 decibels)
- Vision correctable to normal levels with glasses or contacts
- No history of stroke, developmental learning disorders, or other brain diseases

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a brain-stimulation approach to help improve memory as people age. You may be able to take part if you can consent and meet safety and medical criteria, especially related to brain/nerve health and seizure risk.
This study tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique to improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's-related mild cognitive impairment (AD-MCI). It uses magnetic pulses to boost brain activity, and might help slow down memory loss.
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 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 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 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.
