Brain Stimulation to Help Aging Memory and Thinking
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether brain and sensory stimulation can help people with early memory loss or mild cognitive changes. Researchers will use non-invasive stimulation techniques to see if they improve thinking and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild memory or thinking problems (PPA or MCI) diagnosed by a doctor, but can still do your daily tasks
- You had a memory or thinking test within the last 6 months
- You are 45 years old or older
- You do not have a pacemaker, cardiac stimulator, or metal implants near your head or eyes
- You are not pregnant and have no uncontrolled seizure disorder
- You have no serious mental illness like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia

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 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 trial studies a non-invasive brain-stimulation approach to help doctors assess and manage certain brain-related conditions. You might benefit by contributing to better diagnostic tools and treatment planning for memory and thinking problems.
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 is testing a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called tES) to see how it affects memory and thinking in people with memory problems. It involves light electrical stimulation applied to the scalp during sessions over several weeks.
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.
