Ultrasound brain treatment for early memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a special ultrasound treatment that may help clear harmful brain waste linked to Alzheimer's. You would receive the treatment in six short sessions, and the researchers will check your memory and brain health to see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed sign of Alzheimer's-related brain changes (like a positive amyloid PET scan or CSF test) or a special blood test showing amyloid.
- You must be 18 years or older (most are over 60).
- Your memory problems should be mild or very mild—not severe dementia.
- You must be able to sit in a chair for up to an hour for six sessions, with an ultrasound device on your scalp, plus MRI, blood draws, and memory tests.
- You cannot have had anti-amyloid antibody treatment (like Aduhelm or Leqembi) in the last 6 months.
- You cannot have major medical problems like poor kidney function, heart issues, or poorly controlled diabetes.

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can help improve memory in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It may be an option if you have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's and have had a positive blood test for Alzheimer's markers.
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 study tests whether gentle, low-intensity ultrasound waves focused on certain brain areas can help people with early memory loss from Alzheimer's disease. It is a non-invasive treatment that might improve brain function without surgery.
This study tests whether focused ultrasound can safely open the blood-brain barrier in people with Alzheimer's disease, allowing the brain to clear out harmful proteins (amyloid and tau). It may help slow down memory loss and cognitive decline.
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 if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people with mild memory problems. It uses a special cap to gently stimulate the brain and aims to improve thinking and memory.
