Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Etude Study is a multi-center, four-arm prospective dose-adjusting study designed to assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of non-invasive sensory stimulation for patients with cognitive impairment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Subjects will be enrolled in two Cohorts (N=10 each, enrolled sequentially), and each will assess two different dose levels (randomly assigned). Based on initial outcomes in Cohort 1 at Interim Analysis, the doses for Cohort 2 will be escalated or decreased. Subjects will participate in 1 year (48 weeks) of daily therapy dose using the non-invasive, non-significant risk sensory stimulation medical device.
