Brain Stimulation to Improve Memory in Older Adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve memory and thinking skills in people aged 60–75 who have noticed mild memory problems. You'll receive either real or sham (placebo) stimulation and undergo cognitive training over several weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 75 years old
- You have mild memory problems (amnestic mild cognitive impairment) confirmed by a doctor
- You are right-handed
- You speak Spanish fluently and have at least 6 years of education
- You have good vision and hearing to complete memory and thinking tests
- A family member or caregiver can attend sessions with you for at least 10 hours per week

This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, combined with memory training, can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their working memory. You'll have MRI scans and attend training sessions.
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 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 new, non-invasive brain stimulation method over two weeks to see if it improves memory and thinking in healthy young and older adults. It aims to help understand if this technique could benefit cognitive function.
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 study tests whether combining non-invasive brain stimulation (a safe method that uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain) with strategic memory training can improve memory in older adults. If you qualify, you may receive a treatment that could help boost your memory and thinking skills.
