Summary
This study tested a new, drug-free approach to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer's disease. The treatment combined a gentle electrical current applied to the head (tDCS) with cognitive training and a special light shined up the nose (near infrared stimulation). The goal was to see if this combination could improve memory, thinking, and quality of life. The study involved 33 participants and measured changes in cognitive tests right after treatment and again 12 weeks later.
