Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy of 1072nm Infrared Stimulation on Executive Functioning in Dementia (NCT NCT01059877)

NCT ID: NCT01059877

Last Updated: 2018-09-27

Results Overview

Delayed Word Recall is a subscale of the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive (ADAS-Cog), a measure of cognitive impairment. Higher scores indicate greater impairment. Range: 0-10. Measures were taken within 72 hours of the first day of treatment and within 72 hours following the 28th day of treatment. Outcome measure was calculated by subtracting pretest from post test ADAS-Cog measurements.
