A yoga-based device for brain waste clearance in early Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a special yoga-like device that gently moves your head and neck to help clear waste from the brain. It may slow or improve memory and thinking problems in people with early Alzheimer's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Aged 55 to 85 years
- Diagnosis of early-stage Alzheimer's (mild cognitive impairment) or mild Alzheimer's disease
- Able to give consent and follow study instructions
- Can lie flat on your back for about 45 minutes to an hour
- Can walk about 20 meters (roughly the length of a bus)
- Willing to avoid extra yoga, meditation, or similar practices during the study
- Can use a smartwatch or wearable device
- No major heart, lung, or spine conditions that would make the treatment risky

This study tests whether a combination of time-restricted eating and mindfulness can help protect brain health in people with early memory concerns. It lasts 9 months and includes regular guidance and support.
This study tests a new approach for people with mild memory problems using stem cell therapy and a wearable brain-computer device. The goal is to see if these treatments can help improve or slow down memory decline.
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 studies a “closed-loop” brain stimulation approach to improve symptoms in people with early Alzheimer’s-related memory problems. It may help by delivering stimulation based on your brain signals, if you meet the safety and diagnosis requirements.
This study tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation combined with tai chi to see if it can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage between normal aging and dementia. It may help slow down memory decline and improve daily function.
This trial tests a device that sends gentle electrical pulses to a nerve in the neck, which may help improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is for patients who have had a positive amyloid PET scan and are currently taking a stable dose of a cholinesterase inhibitor medication.
