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 a new approach combining special audio-visual stimulation (at 40 Hz) with cognitive games to see if it can help people with Alzheimer's disease. It also includes a group of healthy older adults for comparison.
This study tests whether a personalized sound frequency can improve your thinking and memory. You'll listen to tones designed just for you, and the researchers will measure how your brain responds.
This study tests whether a personalized sensory stimulation program can help people with dementia living in cities or rural areas. It aims to improve cognitive function and quality of life.
This study tests whether gentle sound patterns played during sleep can improve memory and reduce a brain protein (p-tau217) linked to cognitive decline. It involves memory tests, blood work, and sleeping with sounds in a lab setting.
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.
