NCT ID NCT07672171
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a head-mounted far-infrared therapy device in 40 people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The device is placed on specific points on the head and delivers gentle heat. Researchers will check if it is safe and whether it helps improve cognitive function, such as memory and thinking. The goal is to find a non-drug way to support brain health and reduce caregiver burden.
