Brain Stimulation for Early Alzheimer's Memory and Thinking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 50–75 years old
- Have biomarker evidence of Alzheimer's disease (from blood test, brain scan, or spinal fluid test)
- Score 0.5 or 1.0 on a dementia rating scale (mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia)
- Score 21 or higher on a memory and thinking test
- Able to have MRI scans and no metal implants (pacemakers, metal plates, etc.)
- On stable doses of memory medications (if taking any) for at least 6 weeks before screening

This study tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you are between 55 and 80, right-handed, and have a confirmed diagnosis of Alzheimer's.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial alternating current) can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It involves regular sessions of stimulation and check-ups over several months.
This study tests whether a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tACS can help improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It may also include healthy older adults for comparison.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (temporal interference stimulation) to see if it can improve memory in people with early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to understand how the stimulation affects brain function.
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 whether magnetic stimulation of the brain can improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's. You would receive a gentle magnetic pulse to a specific area of your head during several sessions.
