Scientists have shown that a non-invasive sound stimulation of the brain at a specific frequency can clear toxic proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, an advance that could lead to low-cost therapy.

The term “nervous breakdown” is no longer used—“mental-health crisis” is the nomenclature du jour—but I think I had one two years ago. My journey into the psychological night was precipitated by a ...

An emerging theory suggests that synchronized light and sound therapy may slow cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Despite decades of research, ...

Central sensitization in chronic back pain manifested as greater unpleasantness to both pressure and sound, with stronger and more specific amplification for auditory stimuli than mechanical ...

A tailored low-intensity noise stimulus alleviated tinnitus symptoms in a Phase II trial, demonstrating promise for a non-masking, precision-based sound therapy that quiets the brain’s internal noise.

An experimental treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that involves flickering lights and low-pitched sound may also help prevent cognitive problems after cancer treatment, sometimes called chemo brain, a ...

People with chronic back pain process everyday sounds differently, and more intensely, than people without pain, according to new research from the University of Colorado Anschutz. Published today in ...

If you or someone you know has gone through chemotherapy, you might be familiar with the side effect commonly called 'chemo brain.' Scientists have now demonstrated a simple way to protect brain cells ...

You might listen to pump-up music while running to help you churn out the miles. But tuning into another form of sound could offer the opposite effect. Sound therapy—also known as sound baths or sound ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in brain-machine interfaces. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the ...
