Previous clinical studies revealed that the newly developed biophoton therapy has been safe and effective in treating patients with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury, or Parkinson's disease. The current study is to confirm the previous clinical observation by conducting as a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled prospective intervention clinical research. About 80 patients with brain disorder (Alzheimer's disease, dementia, stroke, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease) will participate in the intervention clinical study at the Tesla MedBed Center located in Butler, PA.
The participant will live in the hotel-like research center for 4 weeks, or 6 weeks if the participants are randomly placed in a placebo group. The initial 2 weeks of participation is triple blinded to record the placebo effects, as each set of the study device is labelled with a unique code for use by only one participant. The change of the placebo device to the treatment device will be performed by the study device management team staff who will not inform the study participant nor study research staff who involve study data collection. Each participant assigned to the Control Group will be treated with 14 placebo devices under the bed plus two placebo devices to place in bed on each side of the head. Each participant assigned to the Treatment Group will receive 14 Biophoton generator devices under the bed plus two Biophoton Generators to place in bed on each side of the head. Each participant will use the Treatment or Control device for at least 8 hours every night for the first 2 weeks during sleep. During the day, participants are welcome to move around the facility, visit people or places. At the end of the first 2 weeks, the study participants will be advised whether she/he will be continually in a treatment group for 2 more weeks or be switched from a placebo group to a treatment group for 4 more weeks. Each participant will be guided by study team staff on their assigned testing day to answer the standard SF-36 questionnaires (SF-36) for measuring life quality, Cognitive Improvement Questionnaires, physician performed neurologic examination, Bio-well energy test, the Electroencephalography (EEG) test, blood flow test, and brain biophoton test, respectively at the baseline, 2 and 4 weeks after the study treatment.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment Group | Experimental | The 14 active Biophoton Generators packed with the same 32-Oz metal can will be labeled with a code and placed under a hotel bed. Each participant will rest on the bed during the entire study period for 4 weeks. Participants will receive biophotons inside of the biophoton field generated by 14 active Biophoton Generators |
|
| Control Group | Placebo Comparator | The 14 inactive Biophoton Generators packed with the same 32-Oz metal can will be labeled with a code and placed under a hotel bed. Each participant will rest on the bed during the entire study period for the first 2 weeks. Then will be switched to the active treatment group for being treated for 4 weeks. Participants will receive placebo effect from the 14 inactive comparators. |

The 14 inactive Biophoton Generators packed with the same 32-Oz metal can as the active Treatment device will be labeled with a code and placed under a hotel bed for use. The shape, weight and overall looking is identical between the active and placebo devices.
Brain function change is to be detected by using an EEG machine. Eye reaction time - the shorter the healthier. |
