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.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a drug-free way to improve memory in people with Alzheimer's disease.
