Join a dementia study in Melbourne
Exciting news for those who live in Victoria, are over 55 years old and have been given a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment.
The Australian National Institute of Integrative Medicine (NIIM) is calling for volunteers for their Cognitive Preservation Study. They are using the Well Red Duo Coronet in combination with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The study is led by Assoc Prof Dr Karin Ried.
What’s involved?
Initial blood tests to assess any relevant deficiencies
5 appointments with the trial team at the NIIM head office in Hawthorn, Melbourne, over 6 months
Each appointment will take approximately 2 hours and will involve mood assessment and cognitive testing using both pen and paper tests and computerized tests
Participants will also undergo 3 MRIs. One at the beginning of the trial, one at 4 months, and one at 6 months
Treatment will involve wearing a Red light helmet twice daily for 24 minutes each session for either 8 or 16 weeks
A subgroup of participants will also undergo HBOT twice a week for 8 weeks in addition to wearing the helmet twice daily for 24 minutes each session for 8 weeks

We don’t need to tell you how proud we are that this study is using our Well Red Duo Coronet.
