A recent British study has found that infrared therapy can help people with dementia improve their memory and motor function.

The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Durham in Britain, and whose results were published in the journal Photomedicine, was based on an experiment in which 14 healthy people aged 45 years or older underwent six minutes of infrared phototherapy through a helmet that sends it to the brain through the skull with a wavelength of 2068. nanometers twice daily for a month.

The tests revealed a significant improvement in the performance of motor functions, memory, and the speed of the brain's processing of information.

"This is an experimental study and more research is needed, but there are promising indications that infrared therapy may be beneficial for people with dementia," said study leader Dr. Paul Chazot. It helps relieve nerve cell damage and improves memory performance.

Chazot noted that the helmet directs infrared rays deep into the brain through 14 light arrays that are cooled by a fan.
