Description
Nada Ibrahim Hendi and co-authors published a review paper in 2025 on whether a mild electric current passed through the scalp can help memory in Alzheimer's disease and its early stage. The current is tuned to a fast brain rhythm that frays early in the illness. The team pooled the best trials to judge the method fairly.
Seven trials with 246 patients met their bar. People who got the real current recalled word lists better right after than those who got a sham version. Gains on other tasks were mixed. The authors call the method promising but say larger trials must show how long the gains last and which dose works best.
