Gamma music therapy for mild Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 55 and 90 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease (amnestic type).
- Your memory and thinking scores fall within a certain mild range (e.g., MMSE 20-24).
- You are medically stable and do not have major stroke or psychiatric disorders.
- You have a study partner (like a family member or friend) who can provide information about you.
- You are willing to have an MRI and a blood test to check for amyloid plaques.

This study tests whether listening to live music can improve brain function and well-being for people with early Alzheimer's or mild dementia, and their caregivers. You and your loved one would wear sensors to measure brain and heart activity during music sessions.
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 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 listening to music can help reduce pain and improve thinking in people with early memory loss or mild dementia. Researchers will monitor brain activity, heart rate, and pain levels while you or your loved one participate in music sessions.
This trial studies whether music therapy can improve symptoms and well-being in people with early Alzheimer’s disease or mild memory problems. You may take part in music sessions and likely be screened with MRI, so the study checks safety for scans.
This study looks at how creating music in the moment (improvisation) affects anxiety and brain function in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It may help reduce agitation and improve quality of life.
