Summary
This study tests whether shining a special near-infrared light on the head (called photobiomodulation) can safely help people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. About 38 adults aged 50–90 will receive either real or fake light treatments daily for 16 weeks, then everyone can get the real light for up to 4 years. Researchers will measure changes in memory, thinking, and daily function to see if the light therapy works.
