Summary
This paper is a meta-analysis of the effect of light therapy on sleep disorders and psychobehavioral symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, finding that light therapy significantly improved sleep efficiency and reduced depression and agitation.
Categories
Alzheimer's disease: The paper focuses on patients with Alzheimer's disease and how light therapy can be used as a treatment option for them.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how light therapy can improve sleep disorders, such as insomnia, in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Depression: The paper discusses how light therapy can alleviate depression in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses how Alzheimer's disease affects cognitive function and memory, and how light therapy can be a potential treatment.
Phototherapy: The paper is centered around the use of light therapy as a treatment for sleep disorders and psychobehavioral symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
