NCT ID NCT03643991
Summary
This small pilot study from Mayo Clinic tested whether weighted blankets could help reduce agitation and distressing symptoms in people with dementia.

The goal was to explore a simple, non-medication approach to improve comfort for people experiencing dementia-related behavioral symptoms.
