Brain stimulation study for early Alzheimer's memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have early Alzheimer's disease, which could be mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia
- You have some memory or thinking problems, as shown by a score of 20 to 28 on a common memory test or a specific symptom rating
- You've had a blood test that shows a protein linked to Alzheimer's (called p-tau217) is high
- You do not have other medical conditions that could cause memory problems, such as untreated depression or certain heart, kidney, or liver problems
- You do not have a history of seizures or any metal in your head or within 12 inches of where the brain stimulation coil is placed

This trial tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment (TMS) can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. You would receive the treatment and be monitored for safety and benefit.
This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can help improve memory and thinking in people with dementia. By measuring your brain waves first, researchers hope to tailor the stimulation to your specific needs.
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 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 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 gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique to improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's-related mild cognitive impairment (AD-MCI). It uses magnetic pulses to boost brain activity, and might help slow down memory loss.
