Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of oral vibratory stimulus on the brain activity and cognitive function of elderly people with non-dementia subjects (cognitive normal, mild cognitive impairment)

Detailed description

Evaluating the effect of oral vibratory stimulus on the brain activity and cognitive function of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment ◇ Test design: Open-labeled, prospective, pre-post study ○ Oral vibratory stimulus: As an optimal algorithm drawn through the first year study, the vibratory stimulus is applied 10 times for 15 days (a 5-minute stimulus is applied two times a day for 10 days, and it is composed of repeated 15-second vibratory and 15-second non-vibratory stimulus with a strength of 3.3V).

Conditions

• Mild Cognitive Impairment

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Oral Vibrational Stimulation	Oral application of vibratory stimulus : With the oral equipment, which is similar to the device generally used to prevent teeth grinding in dental clinics, 15-second vibratory and 15-second non-vibratory stimulus are given repeatedly for about 5 minutes using a vibrator that has a strength less than or equal to the vibratory stimulus of a smartphone (3.3V, 166Hz, maximum 180Hz). A stimulus of two times for 5 minutes, a total of at least 10 minutes is conducted for 10 days in a hospital or designated place.
