Ultrasound for memory in mild cognitive decline
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a non-invasive ultrasound treatment can help memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (mNCD) and healthy older adults. It involves MRI scans and focused ultrasound sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 50 to 85
- English is your first or main language
- For healthy volunteers: no diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or dementia
- For those with mild cognitive impairment: diagnosis within the last 2 years and have a family member or friend who sees you at least once a week
- No metal implants or conditions that could cause seizures, and no use of certain medications like strong allergy or sleep meds daily or weekly
- No current substance abuse, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia

Researchers are testing a new technology called transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) that uses sound waves to safely target brain areas. This study helps understand how tFUS affects the brain and may lead to new treatments for brain disorders.
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.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
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 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.
This study tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment to the brain can help improve memory and sleep quality in people with very early Alzheimer's disease. If you have mild memory issues and trouble sleeping, this low-intensity approach might be a safe option to explore.
