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.

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 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 trial tests a fall prevention program for older adults living in the community. It aims to help you learn how to reduce your risk of falling and stay safe on your feet.
This study tests a brief care-planning program in the emergency department for older adults with dementia who've had a fall. The goal is to help patients and their caregivers get the right support and follow-up care at home.
This trial studies rhythmic light therapy to help people with early Alzheimer’s or mild memory problems, especially when sleep is getting worse. If you fit the sleep and vision/medical safety requirements, the study may see whether the therapy improves sleep and thinking-related symptoms.
