Brain stimulation for behavioral symptoms in mild dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (neuromodulation) aimed at easing behavioral symptoms like anxiety, agitation, depression, or apathy in people with mild dementia. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve quality of life and reduce challenging symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS) combined with brain wave recording (EEG) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia.
This study tests different frequencies of gentle electrical brain stimulation to see which works best for memory and thinking. It is designed for people with mild to moderate dementia, not caused by Parkinson's or other brain conditions.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called 40Hz BCI (brain-computer interface) might help slow memory loss in people with Alzheimer's disease. You would receive daily stimulation sessions at home with help from a caregiver.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment designed to help with difficult mood and behavior symptoms in people with Alzheimer's disease. If you are a veteran with mild to moderate Alzheimer's and have troubling symptoms like agitation, the treatment may help improve your quality of life.
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.
