40 Hz light therapy for mild to moderate Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive 40 Hz light therapy system can help people with early Alzheimer’s. You’ll likely use the device at home and wear a small activity monitor, while doing memory and thinking tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 40 or older, and if you’re female, you’re post-menopausal
- You have early Alzheimer’s (mild to moderate) or pre-Alzheimer’s with a positive Alzheimer’s biomarker
- You can speak and read Danish well enough for thinking and memory tests
- You can pass a color-blindness test (Ishihara test)
- You have good enough vision and hearing for the tests (with glasses if needed)
- You have a caregiver who can help you use the light device and the home wearable and support clinic visits

This study tests a type of light therapy (called transcranial photobiomodulation) to see if it can help people with early-stage Alzheimer's. It involves coming to Cedars-Sinai for weekly sessions over a period of 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 a new treatment that uses 40-Hz light and sound stimulation to potentially improve brain function in people with early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It aims to see if this non-invasive therapy can help slow down memory loss and thinking problems.
This study tests if a near-infrared light therapy device can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves daily treatment sessions with the device, and a study partner must be available to help with treatment.
This study tests a light therapy that shines near-infrared light on the head to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is an early-stage trial, so the main goal is to check safety and see if the treatment shows promise.
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.
