Sound therapy at home to improve deep sleep in early Alzheimer's
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 75 years old.
- Your native language is Spanish.
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (mild memory problems) due to Alzheimer's, confirmed by a spinal tap or a special brain scan.
- You can see colors normally (with glasses or contacts if needed).
- You can hear well enough to perceive the sounds used in the study (hearing threshold 50 dB or better).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 a new treatment that uses 40-Hz light and sound stimulation to potentially improve brain function in people with early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. It aims to see if this non-invasive therapy can help slow down memory loss and thinking problems.
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 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.
