Clinical Trial: Gamma Light and Sound Stimulation to Prevent Dementia in Cognitively Normal People at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Alzheimer Disease
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease Using Gamma Entrainment
Brief Summary:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by significant memory loss, toxic protein deposits (amyloid and tau) in the brain, and changes in the gamma frequency band on EEG.Gamma waves are important for memory, and in patients with AD, there are fewer gamma waves in the brain.The Tsai lab found that boosting gamma waves in AD mouse models using light and sound stimulation at 40Hz not only reduced amyloid and tau in the brain, but also improved memory.A light and sound device was developed for humans that…
