Article Synopsis
- There is a growing concern over the lack of effective treatments for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which is increasingly prevalent due to an aging population, and transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) using near-infrared light may offer a solution.
- The study evaluated various cognitive and emotional outcomes in 93 older adults with MCI, comparing those receiving t-PBM therapy to a placebo group, over a period of 150 days.
- Results showed that t-PBM significantly enhanced cognition scores and increased levels of the neuroplasticity biomarker BDNF, indicating a potential therapeutic benefit for individuals with MCI.
