Step training with brain stimulation for older adults with mild dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation, combined with stepping exercises, can help improve walking and thinking in older adults with mild dementia. If you qualify, you may receive this combination therapy for free and help us learn if it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether a structured “step training” exercise program can help people with mild dementia move better or think more clearly. It may be helpful if you can walk independently and have a regular caregiver at home.
This trial combines treadmill training with a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to see if it can help people with Multiple Sclerosis walk better. The study is for people with stable MS and mild to moderate disability.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation device (tES) can improve thinking and movement problems in people with dementia. You (and your caregiver, if needed) will be asked to follow the study plan and attend visits so researchers can measure results and safety.
This study tests whether combining dual-task training (walking while doing a thinking task) with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how stroke survivors move and think. It may help you walk safely while also paying attention to other tasks.
This trial tests whether a harmless brain stimulation technique called TPS can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild memory problems. You may be able to join if you have MCI, are right-handed, and are generally healthy otherwise.
This study tests whether a structured walking exercise, combined with brain stimulation and brain scans, can improve or slow decline in thinking skills. It’s aimed at older adults who notice memory or confusion getting worse.
