Brain Stimulation and Training for Mild Memory Loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have MCI due to early Alzheimer's, this study may help find new ways to boost memory.
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 trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (iTBS) can help people with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve memory and thinking skills.
This study tests a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation called iTBS to see if it can improve memory in older adults with mild memory problems. It may be a good option if you are generally healthy, independent, and have noticed your memory slipping but still do your daily activities on your own.
This study tests whether combining rTMS (a non‑invasive brain stimulation) with aerobic exercise can improve memory, thinking, and mood in older adults who have mild memory problems and depression. It may offer a safe, drug‑free way to help both brain health and emotional well‑being.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a noninvasive brain stimulation technique) can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You and a close contact, like a spouse or friend, will both take part in the study over several sessions.
