Light and sleep quality in older adults with mild memory problems
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how light affects sleep quality in older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. It may help find ways to improve sleep and possibly slow memory decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 65 years old.
- You do not have severe depression.
- You do not have an unstable psychiatric or medical condition.
- You do not have an acute infection at the time of screening.

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.
This study tests if a program that combines light physical activity with simple mental tasks can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for people who are not already exercising regularly and do not take memory medications.
This study tests whether changing the light in a hospital room can improve sleep and help your body clock work better in older adults. It may be most helpful if sleep problems or irregular daily rhythms are affecting you in the hospital.
This study tests whether taking 5 mg of melatonin can improve thinking and brain health over time in older adults with early, mild symptoms. You may help researchers learn which brain changes and measures improve with melatonin.
This study tests a treatment that helps improve sleep and daily rhythms, which may also help with memory and moving around. It's for people aged 50+, with low income, who have trouble with mobility and sleep.
This study tests whether shining a special non-invasive light on the head (photobiomodulation) can improve memory and mood in older adults who feel their memory is slipping but do not have a diagnosed condition. If you notice memory changes and are concerned, this treatment might help.
