Summary

In recent years, the population of older adults (MA) in the world has been increasing, due to the increase in life expectancy and the decrease in the fertility rate. The United Nations (UN) places Spain as the most aged country in the world in the year 2050, with 40% of its population over 60 years of age. There is evidence that quality of life in the elderly is associated with variables linked to physical and psychological health. Thus, for example, previous research indicates that perceived health and cognitive functioning influence the perception of quality of life. The NESA XSIGNAL® device is a low-frequency, non-invasive neuromodulation device that uses microcurrents to restore electrical balance in the body. This technology is approved as medical equipment and is CE marked. This non-invasive neuromodulation equipment is starting to have promising results in patients with sleep disorders. So it can be a useful tool to reduce the impact on the geriatric patient's quality of life.

Detailed description

The main objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of the application of non-invasive neuromodulation in the treatment of geriatric patients for the improvement of health-related quality of life. For this purpose, the investigators propose to carry out an interventional study with a sample of approximately 40 participants. Data will be recorded for 1 month and a half for each participant. It is estimated 7 months from the design, management and development of the project, and it does not have sources of financing.
