The Pilot Study of Medical Device-Neuclare for Patients With Mild Cognitive Disorder and Early Dementia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This clinical trial aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of cognitive function improvement of Neuclare, a science medical device, for patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer's disease.
Through methods such as Trail Making Test Black & White, Attention Questionnaire Scale(AQS), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), etc, cognitive function improvement before and after using Neuclare will be evaluated.
