This proof-of-concept study explores whether long-term home-based closed-loop auditory stimulation during sleep enhances slow-wave activity (SWA) and yields preliminary efficacy signals in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (MCI-AD), confirmed by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers or positron emission tomography (PET).
The intervention is self-administered at participants' homes over an initial treatment period of 3 months, followed by a 1-month off-treatment (washout) period. Participants may then enter an optional extension phase consisting of 3 additional months of treatment followed by a second 1-month washout period, for a total study duration of up to 8 months.
Participants who complete the Nana-Lab Study (NCT07402590) may be invited to provide informed consent for screening and potential enrollment in this study. All enrolled participants receive nightly active treatment during intervention periods. This study does not include randomization or a sham control group.
