40 Hz light and brain training for Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of 40 Hz light stimulation and cognitive (thinking) therapy can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by stimulating the brain and training thinking skills, while carefully checking eye and seizure history.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
- You have memory or thinking (cognitive) problems.
- You have never had epileptic seizures (including during childhood fever illnesses).
- You do not have significant eye disease that could be worsened by light stimulation (like macular degeneration).
- Your eyes are healthy enough to safely receive the light through your vision system.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether daily exposure to special lights and sounds at 40 Hz can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help slow down cognitive decline.
This study tests whether special lights and sounds (at a specific 'gamma' frequency) can safely affect brain activity. It is an early trial looking at how the brain responds to these gentle sensory stimulations.
This trial studies rhythmic light therapy to help people with early Alzheimer’s or mild memory problems, especially when sleep is getting worse. If you fit the sleep and vision/medical safety requirements, the study may see whether the therapy improves sleep and thinking-related symptoms.
This study tests whether regular “gamma” light and sound stimulation can delay or prevent Alzheimer’s disease-related memory decline in people who are currently not showing dementia but are at higher risk. It uses brain testing (MRI and PET) and memory/language tests over about 13 months.
This study tests whether shining a special near-infrared light on the head can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The light is thought to improve brain cell function and reduce damage.
This study tests whether regular at-home “gamma” light and sound stimulation can help people with mild Alzheimer’s. Participants start with a month at home and are followed to see how they do during treatment.
