First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests a light therapy device that shines near-infrared light on the forehead to see if it can improve memory and thinking in people with early Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. About 196 older adults (ages 65-85) will receive either real or fake light treatments for 8 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive approach can help ease symptoms and slow cognitive decline.
