Non-invasive ultrasound for mild dementia with lewy bodies
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ultrasound treatment for people with mild dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The ultrasound is aimed at the brain to see if it can improve symptoms, and it does not require surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
- You are between 50 and 85 years old.
- Your memory test score (MMSE) is between 18 and 24, meaning mild to moderate memory problems.
- Your dementia is at a mild stage (CDR = 0.5).
- You have not had a stroke that left lasting symptoms, and you do not have other conditions like epilepsy, brain injury, or substance abuse that could affect thinking.
- You are able to have an MRI scan without any contraindications.

This study looks at how brain changes affect attention and thinking in people with Lewy body dementia. It includes brain scans, an EEG, and a medication option to see if it helps with symptoms.
This trial tests a noninvasive magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) treatment for people with dementia with Lewy bodies. The treatment aims to help improve thinking and memory. It involves 1–2 weeks of daily sessions, and you'll have memory tests and brain scans during the study.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to see if it helps people with Lewy body dementia. It uses mild electrical currents to gently stimulate parts of the brain.
This study tests whether gentle, low-intensity ultrasound waves focused on certain brain areas can help people with early memory loss from Alzheimer's disease. It is a non-invasive treatment that might improve brain function without surgery.
This trial follows people with probable Lewy body dementia over several years to see how the brain changes on MRI and on memory/thinking tests. It may help researchers understand disease progression and improve future care for Lewy body dementia.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method (neuromodulation) aimed at easing behavioral symptoms like anxiety, agitation, depression, or apathy in people with mild dementia. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve quality of life and reduce challenging symptoms.
