Memory improvement in older adults using brain stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp to boost memory in adults over 65. It tests if this safe, non-invasive method can help with age-related memory changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 65 or older
- Normal or corrected vision and ability to see colors
- No metal implants or electronic devices in the head
- No history of neurological problems, head injury, or dementia
- Not taking any psychoactive medications and no current depression or psychosis

This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method to see if it can improve memory in healthy older adults. It uses carefully chosen doses to find the best approach.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS—similar to a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp) can improve thinking and memory problems that sometimes occur alongside recurring depression in people over 60. You'll receive the treatment alongside your regular depression care.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to explore how brain rhythms affect memory. You will attend sessions where you perform memory tasks while your brain activity is recorded via EEG. The goal is to understand and potentially improve memory functions.
This study tests a new way to help older adults improve their vision by retraining how the brain processes visual information. It may help with age-related vision changes.
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 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.
