Light therapy for mild Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if a near-infrared light therapy device can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves daily treatment sessions with the device, and a study partner must be available to help with treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 50 and 85 years old
- Have a diagnosis of mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease with evidence of brain amyloid (a protein linked to Alzheimer's)
- Memory loss for at least 12 months
- Score between 15 and 26 on a memory test (adjusted for education)
- Have a caregiver or study partner who can accompany you to daily treatment sessions
- No other major medical or psychiatric conditions that could affect the study

This study tests a light therapy that shines near-infrared light on the head to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is an early-stage trial, so the main goal is to check safety and see if the treatment shows promise.
This trial tests whether a special near-infrared light device, combined with the medication lecanemab, can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if the light therapy can slow down memory loss and improve daily function.
This trial tests if shining a special light through the scalp and nose can help people with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to slow down memory decline and improve daily life.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may offer a new way to help manage symptoms.
This study tests whether shining a gentle infrared light on the head can help people with mild memory loss (MCI) improve their thinking and memory. It is designed for those who have mild cognitive impairment due to early Alzheimer's disease.
This study tests whether a non-invasive 40 Hz light therapy system can help people with early Alzheimer’s. You’ll likely use the device at home and wear a small activity monitor, while doing memory and thinking tests.
