Binaural beats for memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether listening to special sounds called binaural beats can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems improve their cognitive function. If you live in a nursing home and have mild cognitive impairment (not dementia), you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
