Sleep sounds for memory and alzheimer's markers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether playing sounds during sleep can improve memory and lower a blood marker of Alzheimer's disease. It is for older adults with mild memory problems or normal memory.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years or older.
- You either have mild memory problems (called MCI) with a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers, or you have normal memory with a negative blood test.
- You cannot have any form of dementia.
- You must not have a diagnosed sleep disorder like severe insomnia, severe sleep apnea, or narcolepsy.
- You must have normal hearing (no hearing aids or significant hearing loss).
- You cannot be taking certain medications like beta-blockers, antidepressants, or sleeping pills.

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.
This study tests whether stimulating the brain during sleep can help clear waste proteins, like amyloid, that build up in the brain and are linked to memory problems. If you have early memory issues or are a healthy adult, you may be able to participate.
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.
This trial tests whether playing soft sounds during sleep can boost the effects of a computer-based brain training program in people with Parkinson's disease who have mild memory or thinking issues. If you qualify, you'll use a headband that plays tones while you sleep and do brain exercises for several weeks.
This study tests whether improving sleep can help thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment. If you have trouble sleeping and are willing to try a non-drug sleep intervention, you might be eligible.
