Sound therapy for memory loss in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to a special sound (gamma-frequency tones) can help slow down memory loss in older adults. It's for people who have mild memory problems but not dementia or other brain disorders.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or older.
- You have mild memory or thinking problems (like a score of 24 or less on a common memory test).
- You have not had a stroke, major depression, or other serious brain conditions.
- You do not have serious heart, liver, or kidney problems that could interfere with the study.
- You can see, hear, and move well enough to take part in thinking tests.

This trial tests if a special light (gamma light) can change brain wave patterns in healthy adults over 55. It aims to understand how light might help keep the brain sharp.
This study tests whether playing special sound patterns personalized to your brain can help improve memory and thinking. If you are a healthy adult with normal cognitive function, you might be able to join this research to see if this sound-based approach boosts brain performance.
This study looks at whether personalized sensory stimulation (activities that engage your senses like touch, sound, or light) can help people with dementia in both city and rural areas. The goal is to see if this approach can improve memory and thinking.
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.
This study tests whether a wearable device that plays soft sounds during sleep can boost deep sleep brain waves in people with mild memory problems caused by Alzheimer's. It aims to see if this simple, home-based approach can help protect memory and thinking.
This study tests whether playing a soft, silent sound (or no sound) during deep sleep can improve memory, brain activity, and blood markers. It is for older adults (60-85) who have mild memory issues but are otherwise healthy.
