Auditory Stimulation of Slow Wave Sleep and Memory in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Older Adults

Northwestern University·interventional·Posted Nov 20, 2015·Updated Nov 6, 2019

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Auditory stimulation during sleep and Sham Intervention for Mild Cognitive Impairment. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

This study will evaluate the ability of sounds played during slow wave sleep using a phase locked loop algorithm to enhance slow wave sleep and memory in cognitively healthy older adults and in those with amnestic mild cognitive impairment.

Interventions

Auditory stimulation during sleepother

The intervention is a brain computer interface program which measures brain electroencephalogram to identify slow waves and time the sounds. Barely audible sounds are delivered through headphones and played during sleep (specifically, during slow wave sleep).

Sham Interventionother

The brain electroencephalogram is measured and headphones are worn, but sounds are not played during sleep.
