Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a treatment called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) — a non-invasive way to gently stimulate the brain using electrical current applied to your scalp. Researchers want to see if this treatment can help improve memory, thinking, and daily functioning in people with Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, or normal pressure hydrocephalus. The treatment is painless and does not require surgery.
Current treatments for these types of dementia are limited, and doctors are looking for new ways to slow thinking problems and help people maintain their quality of life. This trial explores whether brain stimulation might offer a safe and effective option for people living with these conditions.

If you join this study, you will receive four sessions of brain stimulation over four consecutive days. In each session, electrodes will be placed on your scalp over a specific area, and you'll receive gentle electrical stimulation for a short period — the procedure is painless and non-invasive. Half of participants will receive the real treatment, and half will receive a sham (placebo) treatment, and neither you nor the researchers will know which group you're in. The researchers will track how you respond to see if the treatment helps with memory and thinking.
