Gentle Ultrasound for Alzheimer's Memory Problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 85 years old
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) likely due to Alzheimer's disease
- If you take Alzheimer's medication, you have been on the same dose for at least 45 days
- You do not have any metal or electronic implants in your body (like a pacemaker) and are not claustrophobic
- You have no history of seizures
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-surgical ultrasound procedure (called MR-guided focused ultrasound) meant to temporarily “open” the brain’s protective barrier so treatments may work better for Alzheimer’s disease. It also looks at safety and how well people tolerate the procedure and related tests.
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 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 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.
This study tests a special ultrasound treatment that may help clear harmful brain waste linked to Alzheimer's. You would receive the treatment in six short sessions, and the researchers will check your memory and brain health to see if it helps.
This study tests a low-intensity ultrasound treatment aimed at helping the brain clear out harmful protein buildup linked to Alzheimer's disease. It is for people 65 and older with mild cognitive impairment (slight but noticeable memory problems) and a positive test for amyloid, a protein in the brain.
