NCT ID NCT06088121
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a device that combines magnetic brain stimulation with cognitive exercises to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. About 180 participants aged 60-85 will receive either real or sham stimulation along with real cognitive training over 24 weeks. The main goal is to measure changes in standard dementia assessment scores.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
ATNC MDD-V1 device (magnetic brain stimulation plus cognitive training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to slow cognitive decline in early Alzheimer's.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The sham group also gets cognitive training, which may reduce the apparent benefit.
