Brain pacemaker trial offers hope for Alzheimer's patients

NCT ID NCT05882344

Summary

This study is testing whether deep brain stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will implant small electrodes in the brain to deliver mild electrical pulses to areas involved in memory. The study will measure changes in memory tests, brain scans, and Alzheimer's biomarkers over 1-3 years to see if this approach is safe and effective.
