Light-Based Therapy Shows Cognitive Improvements in Alzheimer's Clinical Trials

- Researchers at DTU and UC Berkeley have developed a non-invasive light therapy that induces gamma brain waves to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients. - Clinical trials at Zealand University Hospital showed patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's experienced improvements in speech and memory after 30 minutes daily treatment. - Brain scans revealed increased brain volume in patients receiving active light treatment, while placebo group showed deterioration over the study period. - The technology aims to reduce harmful beta-amyloid plaques in the brain while avoiding side effects of traditional blinking light therapies.
