Mild Cognitive Impairment
Memory changes that worry you deserve answers, not a wait-and-see. At VieClinic, we measure your brain first, then offer TMS, which improved memory and thinking scores across 11 trials in mild cognitive impairment.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is characterized by noticeable changes in cognitive abilities, such as memory loss, language difficulties, judgment issues, or other thinking skills. These changes are evident to the individual and those around them but are not severe enough to interfere significantly with daily life or independence.
MCI serves as an intermediate stage between normal age-related cognitive decline and more severe conditions like dementia. In some cases, MCI may progress to Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, while in others, symptoms remain stable or even improve over time.

Trusting in Vieclinic
Better Memory and Thinking Scores
Across 11 trials and 532 people with mild cognitive impairment, TMS improved memory and overall thinking scores more than sham.
Benefits After Treatment Ends
Pooled trials show improvement still present at follow-up, with larger effects after more than 20 sessions.
Light Therapy Studied in Toronto
In a Toronto study of 20 people, six weeks of home near-infrared light therapy improved memory and overall thinking scores.

Vieclinic Can Help You With
rtms
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Non-invasive techniques
Magnetic pulses to the front of the brain, the area that supports memory and planning. Pooled trials found larger effects with longer courses.
tDCS
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Non-invasive techniques
A gentle electrical current, often paired with memory training, to support memory and thinking.
Pbm
Photobiomodulation
Non-invasive techniques
Near-infrared light used at home through a headset. In a Toronto study, six weeks of home sessions improved memory and thinking scores.

- Treat cerebrovascular issues to improve brain blood flow.
Lifestyle Modifications
- Exercise regularly to boost brain health.
- Follow a brain-healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
- Maintain consistent sleep routines and high-quality rest.
Cognitive Training
- Participate in programs targeting memory, attention, and problem-solving.
- Use tools like reminders, apps, or notes to assist daily functioning.
Medications
- While no medications are currently approved specifically for MCI, off-label use of Alzheimer’s medications may be explored in certain cases.
Psychological Support
- Address anxiety or depression through therapy or counselling.

About MCI
Types
- Amnestic MCI:Memory loss is the primary symptom, such as difficulty recalling recent events or conversations.
- Non-Amnestic MCI: Impairments occur in other cognitive areas, such as planning, organizing, decision-making, or judgment, without significant memory loss.
Causes
MCI can result from various factors, including:
- Aging (affecting 10–20% of people over 65)
- Genetic predisposition
- Chronic conditions like diabetes, stroke, or depression
- Medication side effects or cerebrovascular disease
Prevention Strategies
While it cannot always be prevented, certain lifestyle choices may reduce risk:
- Maintain a nutrient-rich diet (e.g., Mediterranean or DASH diets)
- Stay physically active and socially engaged
- Limit alcohol, avoid smoking, and reduce exposure to air pollution
- Manage chronic health conditions and prioritize mental health
- Ensure proper sleep hygiene and address sleep disorders
- Engage in brain-stimulating activities, such as puzzles and memory exercises
