Summary

This study tests whether shining a special light on the forehead (photobiomodulation) can improve thinking and memory in 45 people with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. Participants will receive the light treatment and take cognitive tests and blood tests before and after. The goal is to see if the light can improve executive function and change certain brain-related signals in the blood.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to ease memory and thinking problems in early Alzheimer's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 45 people. The device is being used off-label, so it may not help at all. Results may not apply to everyone.
