Shining a Light on Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Dementia

Imagine treating dementia like a puzzle and non-pharmacological therapies (NPTs) are the different pieces you can use to solve it. Researchers have been exploring various NPTs such as photobiomodulation (PBM), enriched environment (EE), exercise therapy (ET), computerized cognitive training (CCT), and cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) to improve cognitive function in patients with dementia. To assess […]
