Light therapy for mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if shining a special light through the scalp and nose can help people with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to slow down memory decline and improve daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 50 and 85 years old
- You have been diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild Alzheimer's disease
- You have mild to moderate memory or thinking problems, measured by standard tests
- You can attend study visits and have a family member or friend who can join you
- You do not have other serious brain injuries, unstable medical conditions, skin or nose problems that would make the light treatment unsafe

This study tests whether light therapy can help improve thinking and memory in older adults with mild cognitive changes. Researchers will use light exposure to see if it supports brain health in people with signs of blood vessel disease in the brain.
This study tests a light therapy that shines near-infrared light on the head to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It is an early-stage trial, so the main goal is to check safety and see if the treatment shows promise.
This study tests if a near-infrared light therapy device can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It involves daily treatment sessions with the device, and a study partner must be available to help with treatment.
This trial tests whether a special near-infrared light device, combined with the medication lecanemab, can help people with mild Alzheimer's disease. It aims to see if the light therapy can slow down memory loss and improve daily function.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (using magnetic or electrical fields) to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease. The treatment is safe and does not require surgery.
This study tests whether shining a special non-invasive light on the head (photobiomodulation) can improve memory and mood in older adults who feel their memory is slipping but do not have a diagnosed condition. If you notice memory changes and are concerned, this treatment might help.
