A group of researchers at a medical equipment company in the United States has recently developed a device that reduces memory loss by stopping the accumulation of brain proteins in dementia patients, known scientifically as Alzheimer's.
After clinical studies on a number of patients, researchers developed a cap-shaped device that emits electromagnetic waves at a certain frequency that reverse or invalidate memory loss.
The researchers, in collaboration with eight patients with varying degrees of disease, tried the new device at home twice a day, and the session lasts for only one hour for two months.
By the end of the study, published in the journal Alzheimer's Disease, the researchers found an improvement in mental functioning and communication between brain cells in 7 out of 8 participants in the trial.Tests showed a decline in Tao and amyloid-beta proteins associated with dementia.
The executive director of the medical equipment company that created the device, Dr. Gary Arendash, noted that the improvement in the patients lasted for two weeks after the end of the treatment. .
The brain scan, which was conducted for all participants in the experiment, to detect any side effects, showed no tumors or internal bleeding due to the new treatment.
A new 17-month clinical trial with 150 Alzheimer's patients is planned and the manufacturer hopes to get the FDA license before 2021.
