Light and sound stimulation for Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether daily exposure to special lights and sounds at 40 Hz can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help slow down cognitive decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's disease.
- You have completed at least primary school.
- You have a positive test (PET scan, spinal fluid, or blood) confirming Alzheimer's disease.
- Your current Alzheimer's medications are expected to stay the same during the study.
- You do not have other brain disorders like stroke, epilepsy, or major head injury.

This study tests whether regular “gamma” light and sound stimulation can delay or prevent Alzheimer’s disease-related memory decline in people who are currently not showing dementia but are at higher risk. It uses brain testing (MRI and PET) and memory/language tests over about 13 months.
This study tests whether regular at-home “gamma” light and sound stimulation can help people with mild Alzheimer’s. Participants start with a month at home and are followed to see how they do during treatment.
This trial tests whether a combination of 40 Hz light stimulation and cognitive (thinking) therapy can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by stimulating the brain and training thinking skills, while carefully checking eye and seizure history.
This study tests whether special lights and sounds (at a specific 'gamma' frequency) can safely affect brain activity. It is an early trial looking at how the brain responds to these gentle sensory stimulations.
This study tests whether a special type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation can improve memory and thinking skills in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease. The treatment uses electrical stimulation to target specific brain areas without surgery.
This trial tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (transcranial alternating current) can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's or mild memory problems. It involves regular sessions of stimulation and check-ups over several months.
