Brain stimulation and exercise for memory and mood
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining rTMS (a non‑invasive brain stimulation) with aerobic exercise can improve memory, thinking, and mood in older adults who have mild memory problems and depression. It may offer a safe, drug‑free way to help both brain health and emotional well‑being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 65 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) — memory or thinking problems that are more than normal aging but not dementia.
- You have symptoms of depression (such as feeling sad or losing interest in things).
- You can walk on your own (with or without a cane or walker).
- You do not have metal implants in your head or neck, a pacemaker, or cochlear implants.
- You do not have a history of seizures or epilepsy.

This study tests whether combining brain stimulation (TMS) with cognitive training games can help people with mild cognitive impairment—early memory and thinking problems. The goal is to see if this combination improves thinking abilities and slows cognitive decline.
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 whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). If you have MCI due to early Alzheimer's, this study may help find new ways to boost memory.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation combined with tai chi to see if it can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage between normal aging and dementia. It may help slow down memory decline and improve daily function.
This study tests a new brain stimulation method that may help improve memory and thinking in older adults who have memory concerns. It uses a safe, non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) that sends magnetic pulses to the brain.
This study tests whether daily brain stimulation (TMS) can improve the brain's waste-clearing system, which may help with memory and thinking. It is for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the intervention is safe and non-invasive.
