This study investigates the effect of gamma light and sound therapy delivered by the GENUS device in people with mild Alzheimer's disease. People aged 65-100 with mild Alzheimer's disease can take part, using an at-home stimulation method. It is a trial without an assigned phase and is currently recruiting participants.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
