What this study is about
This trial is testing whether using a light and sound device at home can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease. The device stimulates the brain to boost gamma waves, which may reduce harmful proteins in the brain and improve memory. Participants will use the device daily for 6 months and undergo various tests to measure changes in their brains and cognitive function.
Simplified from trial records by PatientMatch.
