At-home light and sound therapy for mild Alzheimer’s
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 65 and 100 years old
- Have mild Alzheimer’s, with an MMSE brain-memory test score between 19 and 26
- Be able to agree to the study (or have a legally authorized representative if you cannot)
- Be able to complete the first month of at-home sessions at your main home
- Not be away from your main home for more than about 1 week at a time during the study (your team will check)

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 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 study tests whether a specially designed music intervention can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease. You listen to music with a gamma frequency beat, which may improve brain function and memory.
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 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.
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.
