Multisensory 40-Hz Stimulation for Alzheimer's Disease
Sponsor: Beijing Tiantan Hospital
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of combined auditory and visual 40-Hz stimulation in participants with biomarker-confirmed Alzheimer's disease spectrum disorders. A total of 60 participants with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease or mild Alzheimer's disease dementia will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either active multisensory 40-Hz stimulation or sham stimulation. The intervention will be administered for 60 minutes once daily for 4 consecutive weeks. Clinical assessments, electroencephalography, multimodal magnetic resonance imaging, and blood biomarkers will be evaluated before and after the intervention. Additional clinical, electroencephalographic, and blood biomarker assessments will be performed at 3 and 6 months after the intervention.

Conditions
Interventions
Multisensory 40-Hz Stimulation Device
A device delivering synchronized auditory and visual stimulation at a frequency of 40 Hz. Each intervention session will last 60 minutes and will be administered once daily for 4 consecutive weeks.
Sham Multisensory Stimulation
The sham device will reproduce the appearance, setup, and duration of the active intervention but will not deliver synchronized 40-Hz auditory and visual stimulation.
