Brain Stimulation for Cognitive Impairment in Dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation to help slow cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease or frontotemporal dementia. Researchers will combine this stimulation with cognitive training to see if it improves memory and thinking skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, frontotemporal dementia, or progressive aphasia (language difficulty)
- Evidence of disease in your brain (positive amyloid or tau biomarkers confirmed by PET scan or spinal fluid test)
- Age 45–85 years and right-handed
- Stable on current Alzheimer's medications for at least 12 weeks
- Have a reliable caregiver who can support your participation
- No metal implants (pacemakers, deep brain stimulators) or skull abnormalities that would prevent MRI or brain stimulation

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic or electrical fields) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease. The treatment is safe and does not require surgery.
This trial tests a personalized brain stimulation treatment for older adults with mild memory or thinking problems caused by Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if tailored stimulation can improve cognitive function.
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 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.
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 safe, non-invasive electrical stimulation can help people with Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve thinking and memory skills.
