First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study tested a non-invasive electrical stimulation on the skin to see if it could improve long-term memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). 80 older adults with MCI received either real or fake stimulation while learning word pairs. Their memory was tested right after, and again at 7 and 28 days later. The goal was to see if this safe, painless technique could help slow down forgetting.
