Zapping the brain to fight Alzheimer's memory loss

NCT ID NCT06094192

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, personalized to each person's brain rhythms, can improve memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare memory performance during real stimulation versus a sham (fake) condition. The goal is to understand if this drug-free approach can help with memory and lay the groundwork for future treatments.
