Revitalize Cognition: A Proof of Concept Study Using Transcranial Near Infrared Stimulation in Older Adults
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MedX 1116 Rehab Console and Sham MedX 1116 Rehab Console for Aging. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Changes in mood and cognition are common in older adulthood. Some studies have suggested that transcranial application of near-infrared (NIR) light may have enhancing effects on cognitive and mood status in young adults and individuals with traumatic brain injury. This effect has not been examined in older adults. This study will involve a randomized sham-controlled trial to learn whether NIR stimulation improves cognition and mood in older adults, relative to sham treated controls. Aim 4 of this study (Parkinson Specific) is registered separately under NCT06688357

Interventions
This intervention makes use of transcranially applied near infrared light using light emitting diodes. Near infrared light will be applied to the scalp for a period of 1 hour at each session. A total of six session will be held.
