Brain cap trial: patients test electromagnetic wave device for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
NCT ID NCT07222605
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a device called MemorEM, which is a cap that sends low-level electromagnetic waves to the head. The goal is to get feedback from 1,000 patients with neurological diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, and their caregivers, on how easy the device is to use. Researchers hope this feedback will help improve the device's design and explore whether it might help with symptoms in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MemorEM device (delivers 915MHz electromagnetic waves via a cap)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help improve the design of the MemorEM device and suggest ways to make it easier for patients to use, potentially leading to better symptom management in future trials.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early pilot study focused on user feedback, not on proving the device works. The number of participants is small, and there is no control group, so any reported benefits may be due to chance or the placebo effect.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient diagnosed with a neurological disease involving aggregated proteins such as Alzheimer's and its variants, Parkinson's, Frontotemporal dementia, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Tauopathies, and other related neurological diseases. * Presence of a caregiver(s) responsible for ensuring treatment compliance and potentially with authority to make medical decisions for the patient if the patient is not competent to make those decisions. * A statement from each patient's physician that indicates the patient has the ability to understand and consent on their own AND they have the willingness to sign CareONE's patient consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patient has Seizures, Epilepsy, uncontrolled Depression, uncontrolled Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, alcoholism or drug addiction * Presence of metal implants in the head, except for metal dental implants * Patient has hypertension that is unresponsive to anti-hypertensive medications * Patient has implanted medication pumps unless cleared by physician * Patient has significant heart disease, as determined by a physician
