About The Clinical Trial
In cooperation with Texas A&M University's Dept. of Neurosurgery, Quietmind Foundation enrolled individuals age 50-85 years experiencing memory problems and who had been independently diagnosed with early to mid-stage dementia to participate in this trial. The study used low-level infrared light stimulation directed to the head. The stimulation sessions were conducted at home, twice daily, for 5 minutes over 60 consecutive days. The trial was randomized, placebo controlled and double blinded.
Trial Procedure:
Individuals that matched the clinical trial eligibility criteria went through two unique assessments at the start, mid-point, and ending of the trial period. 
  1. First, subjects completed a Quantitative EEG assessment. This assessment involved wearing a cap with sensors that record the brain's electrical activity. This is a non-invasive procedure and completed in less than 30-minutes. This assessment is conducted in-person.
  2. Subjects then completed a standardized memory assessment. This assessment takes an hour and was conducted remotely by the study neuropsychologist.
Following these first two assessments, participants received a light therapy device that they will wear for 5-minutes, twice daily for 2 months. This device uses safe LED lights that stimulate blood flow and reduce inflammation in the brain.

Participants repeated the EEG and cognitive assessments twice more during the two month trial.
