Rhythmic music and walking study for Alzheimer's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to a steady beat (rhythmic music) while walking can improve movement and brain function in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. Healthy volunteers are also needed for comparison.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 50 to 90 years old.
- You live in the community (not in a nursing home or assisted living).
- You can walk for about 10–15 minutes without help from someone else or a cane/walker.
- You can communicate with the study team.
- If you have Alzheimer's disease, you must have mild memory loss (based on simple memory tests).
- You do not have a serious hearing problem or a medical condition that makes walking hard.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how older adults walk to see if walking patterns can help find early signs of memory loss or dementia. If you are 50 or older and can walk without help, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether combining music with physical movement can improve both thinking and physical abilities in older adults who have mild memory problems and are physically frail. It may help you stay independent and healthy.
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 a digital music-based walking program that creates personalized playlists to help improve how you walk and make it feel more automatic. It may be helpful if you can walk for at least 10 minutes without help and are in early to middle stages of Parkinson's disease.
This study looks at whether light-to-moderate physical activity (like walking or stretching) can help memory and thinking in middle-aged and older adults. People with normal thinking, mild memory problems, or Parkinson's disease may join if they aren't already very active.
This study looks at how your brain controls walking and navigation, especially in people with early memory concerns. It may help researchers understand and improve treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's.
