Effects of Binaural Beats and Spatialized Music on Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in Assisted Living Facility Residents
This trial is testing whether special types of music listening — binaural beats (subtle audio tones layered into music) and spatialized music (sound engineered to feel three-dimensional) — can reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms in people living with dementia in assisted living facilities. It also looks at effects on caregiver stress and overall mood. This is a Phase NA study, meaning it is a practical, exploratory trial rather than a drug approval study.
You may qualify if
- (1) age 55-95 years; (2) the subject and/or his/her legal guardian have signed written informed consent; (3) the subject is able to complete the entire trial period; and (4) a minimum of fifty percent of the subjects will have a diagnosis of a dementia condition with a moderate to severe progression.
You're excluded if
- (1) profound hearing loss or impairment; (2) history of seizures, epilepsy (especially sound-induced epilepsy), claustrophobia, or other conditions that put the subject at risk during the trial; (3) physical or mental conditions that may result in inability to complete and/or affect the efficacy of assessment.
