Phase N/A

Lewy Body Dementia (DLB): A brain disorder that affects thinking, movement, behavior, and mood.

Study Overview: This research tests the safety and effects of using a gentle electrical current on the brain, called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), to help people with DLB. tACS is non-invasive, meaning it doesn't involve surgery, and aims to improve brain functions like memory and perception. The study involves two groups: one gets actual tACS, the other gets a placebo (fake treatment) for comparison.

The study is double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers know who gets the real or placebo treatment, to ensure fair results. Participants will visit at the start, after 2 weeks, and 12 weeks later for follow-up. Procedures include blood tests, memory and thinking tests, and brain wave tests (EEG, TMS-EEG). Safety will be closely monitored.

  • Duration: 2 weeks of treatment, with follow-ups at 12 weeks.
  • Visits: Three main visits with blood tests and assessments.
  • Risks: Monitor for any adverse effects; not suitable for people with certain medical devices or conditions.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
