Check Eligibility →Description
This pilot study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of Ultrasonic Debris Clearance (UDC), a noninvasive low-intensity focused ultrasound intervention, in amyloid-positive adults who are asymptomatic but at risk for Alzheimer's disease, or who have mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia. The study is designed to test whether repeated UDC sessions can be delivered safely and feasibly in this population, while also exploring efficacy via biomarkers and clinical measures.
Interventions
-
Ultrasonic Debris Clearance
(Device)
Ultrasonic debris clearance (UDC) delivered with a 250-kHz low-intensity transcranial ultrasound device for approximately 30 minutes per session across 8 sessions over 4 weeks. The intervention is designed to provide broad transcranial ultrasound exposure to promote glymphatic clearance, with real-time monitoring of transmitted power and matched study procedures including EEG, MRI, blood, and clinical assessments.
-
sham
(Device)
Sham procedure matched to the active UDC intervention in schedule, session duration, device setup, and study procedures, but without transcranial ultrasound energy delivery while maintaining participant blinding.
