Infrared light for memory loss in mild cognitive impairment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether shining a gentle infrared light on the head can help people with mild memory loss (MCI) improve their thinking and memory. It is designed for those who have mild cognitive impairment due to early Alzheimer's disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
