NCT ID NCT07602283
First seen May 22, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether group drumming can help reduce pain and improve well-being in people with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment, as well as their caregivers. Over 8 weeks, 60 participants will take part in community drum circles while researchers measure pain responses, stress hormones, and brain activity. The goal is to understand how music-based activities might offer relief and connection for both patients and those who care for them.
