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 study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may offer a new way to help manage symptoms.
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 whether a new type of brain stimulation (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) with a larger coil can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves multiple sessions of rTMS and MRI scans.
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 is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (using magnetic fields to activate brain cells), can help improve memory and thinking in people with Alzheimer's disease. It is a potential option for those looking to explore additional treatment approaches.
