Nightlight Falls Prevention for People With Dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a simple plan to help prevent falls in people who have dementia. You may be able to join if you live in a participating assisted living community and meet the safety and room rules.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with dementia
- You live in a participating assisted living (AL) community
- You are able to see (not blind)
- You are not on hospice care and you are not in a rapidly worsening condition

This study tests a new training program meant to help staff at assisted living communities better care for people with dementia. It also invites family members to share their experiences to improve how care is given.
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 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 specific “training practice” can reduce falls in people with probable Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by improving safe walking and balance after doing the training.
This study aims to improve sleep quality for people in nursing homes who have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia and are having sleep problems. It uses a sleep-focused approach through staff “sleep huddles” and checks sleep patterns to see what helps.
This study tests a digital program to help older adults reduce their risk of falling. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and can walk on their own, and it may help you feel steadier and safer.
