Gamma brain stimulation study for adults with Down syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain stimulation approach aimed at affecting brain activity in people with Down syndrome. It may help researchers understand whether this kind of stimulation can improve certain brain or thinking-related outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 25 and 65 years old
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of Down syndrome (mosaic Down syndrome is not allowed)
- Be able to consent, or have a legal guardian/representative who can consent for you
- Be medically stable and have had the same medications for the last 3 months
- Not have autism alongside Down syndrome, and not have had certain recent health or safety risks

This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to help adolescents and young adults with Down syndrome improve their language skills. It aims to see if this safe method can boost word-finding and speaking ability.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation treatment called tDCS can help people with Down syndrome who are also experiencing severe depression with symptoms like being very still or not speaking. The goal is to see if this safe, non-invasive treatment can improve mood and movement.
This trial studies whether a GnRH hormone treatment can improve thinking and memory in people with Down syndrome. It also checks safety and whether the treatment affects brain-related changes seen on MRI.
This study looks at how well a brain chemical system works in adults with Down syndrome as they age, including how it relates to Alzheimer’s-type brain changes and thinking skills. It uses brain scans and memory/thinking tests to see whether these measures can help track risk or changes over time.
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.
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.
