This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases โ it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a device called the Yin FuRui De Far-Infrared Therapy Device that delivers special infrared light to your head. Researchers believe this type of light may help protect brain cells and improve memory and thinking abilities in people with Alzheimer's disease. The treatment is non-invasive โ you wear a headpiece for 30 minutes a day โ and continues alongside your regular Alzheimer's medications.
Current Alzheimer's medications provide only limited help and can have side effects. This trial is exploring whether far-infrared light therapy might support brain function and slow cognitive decline in a way that is safe and easy for patients to use at home.

You will be randomly assigned to receive either active far-infrared therapy or a sham device (inactive device that looks identical) for 12 months. The device is worn like a headpiece and applied to two specific points on your head for 30 minutes each, once daily. After initial training at the study site, you will use the device at home, either by yourself or with a caregiver's help. You will continue taking your regular Alzheimer's medications without any changes. The study will monitor your thinking and memory skills over the year to see if the treatment helps.
