Rhythm and alertness study for Lewy body dementia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether listening to rhythmic sounds can help improve attention and alertness in people with Lewy body dementia or mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies. You and a study partner will participate, and the therapy involves tapping along to a beat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a diagnosis of probable Lewy body dementia or mild cognitive impairment with Lewy bodies.
- You can speak English fluently.
- You have a study partner who can attend sessions and answer questions about your symptoms.
- You have mild to moderate dementia (a score of 0.5 to 1 on a standard dementia scale).
- You can use at least one hand to tap along with a rhythm for at least 10 seconds, and you can hear (with or without hearing aids).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called tACS (transcranial alternating current stimulation) to see if it helps people with Lewy body dementia. It uses mild electrical currents to gently stimulate parts of the brain.
This study is testing whether digital health tools (like wearable sensors) can better track symptoms of certain brain conditions (PSP, DLB, and MCI with Lewy bodies). It aims to improve monitoring and care for people with these conditions.
This study is looking for a protein in spinal fluid that may help diagnose Lewy body disease, a cause of dementia. If you have memory or thinking problems and are being checked for certain types of dementia, this study may offer a more precise diagnosis.
This study looks at how brain changes affect attention and thinking in people with Lewy body dementia. It includes brain scans, an EEG, and a medication option to see if it helps with symptoms.
This trial tests a gentle, non-invasive ultrasound treatment for people with mild dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The ultrasound is aimed at the brain to see if it can improve symptoms, and it does not require surgery.
This study looks at how brain function changes over time in people with Lewy body disease or Alzheimer's. Researchers will use memory tests, MRI scans, and EEG (a painless brain-wave recording) to track these changes, and you will need a family member or friend to help report on your daily life.
