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.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how walking patterns change in people with mild memory problems compared to healthy older adults. It may help find early signs of dementia using a simple walking test.
This trial tests whether combining music with movement can improve thinking skills and physical health in older adults who have both mild memory problems and physical frailty. It may help you stay independent and active.
This study tests a wearable sensor device that tracks walking and thinking to help detect and monitor early memory decline. Participation involves wearing the sensor during daily activities and attending clinic visits, which may help identify changes in cognitive function over time.
This study tests whether listening to live music can improve brain function and well-being for people with early Alzheimer's or mild dementia, and their caregivers. You and your loved one would wear sensors to measure brain and heart activity during music sessions.
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 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.
