Acupressure for slowing early Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether acupressure—a gentle pressure technique on the body—can help slow down memory decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. It's a long-term approach that might be a safe, non-drug way to support brain health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have mild memory or thinking problems (not yet severe dementia)
- Have a blood test showing certain Alzheimer's-related protein changes
- Be able to communicate clearly (no severe language impairment)
- Have healthy skin on the areas where acupressure will be applied
- Have no prior head or neck surgery

This study tests an experimental medication called RO7568282 to see if it can slow down memory decline in people with early Alzheimer's disease. If you have early memory problems and a confirmed Alzheimer's-related brain change, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new, noninvasive brain stimulation method called Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) for people in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. The goal is to see if it can help improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can improve symptoms in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You may qualify if you have memory and thinking changes consistent with Alzheimer’s and meet imaging and brain-scan score requirements.
This trial tests whether acupuncture can help people with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will compare results in people who carry the APOE e4 gene and those who don't, to see if the treatment works differently.
This trial tests whether electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture that uses mild electrical pulses) can help calm agitation in people with Alzheimer's disease. If you or your loved one has Alzheimer's and often feels restless or upset, this study may offer a new option.
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.
