NCT06843824Completed
A Graphene Far-infrared Intervention Study of Cognitive Status in Older Adults
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Mar 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is a 4-week group controlled trial to explore whether graphene far-infrared intervention can improve the cognitive status of older adults presenting with symptoms of Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), or Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and is dedicated to enhancing the cognitive status of older adults and improving their mental health. Participants were older adults who presented with cognitive problems. Participants were divided into SCD and MCI/AD groups based on their cognitive level, and each group was further divided into a graphene far-infrared intervention group and a placebo control group. We also measured the depression and anxiety levels of the older adults and incidentally observed whether the graphene far-infrared intervention could have a positive impact on their mental health outcomes, which was not the focus of our study.
