Accelerated rTMS to improve cognitive function
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses to the brain (called rTMS) can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild to moderate cognitive decline. The treatment is non-invasive and may help slow cognitive changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 90 years old
- You have documented mild to moderate cognitive decline (MCI or mild dementia)
- You have no electronic implants in or near your head (pacemakers, cochlear implants, deep brain stimulators, etc.)
- You have no metal implants in or near your head or within 30 cm of where the treatment coil will be placed
- You have a reliable caregiver or family member who can attend visits and provide information about your cognitive status
- You can commit to all scheduled study visits and avoid other cognitive-improvement treatments during the study

This study uses a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to see if it can slow cognitive decline in older adults who are healthy or have very early signs of Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve memory and thinking.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation treatment called rTMS can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It mainly looks at people with mild to moderate dementia and checks whether results differ based on how the treatment is applied.
This trial is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep rTMS can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if this treatment can improve cognitive function without major side effects.
This study tests whether a noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment can slow down cognitive decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. You'll receive daily sessions over several weeks, and the goal is to see if it helps preserve memory and thinking skills.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.
