What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
K-RBANS
The closer the total score of 160 points, the worse the cognitive state is, and the closer it is to 40, the worse the cognitive state is
Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks after treatment
Secondary outcomes (8)
K-RBANS
The closer the total score of 160 points, the worse the cognitive state is, and the closer it is to 40, the worse the cognitive state is
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment
K-MMSE-2
Total scores range from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicating more worsening.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, and 16 weeks after treatment
CDR-SB
The closer to CDR 0 grade, the more normal the cognitive state, and the closer to CDR 3 grade, the worse the cognitive state.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, and 16 weeks after treatment
K-IADL
It consists of a total of 11 items (0-3 points), and the score is calculated by dividing the total score by the number of corresponding items, and the closer it is to 3, the worse the cognitive state is.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, and 16 weeks after treatment
PRMQ
The closer to the lowest 16 points, the normal memory ability, and the closer to the total score of 80 points, the worse the memory ability.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, and 16 weeks after treatment
GDS-15
The closer it is to 0, the less depressed it is, and the closer it is to the total score of 15, the more depressed it is.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, and 16 weeks after treatment
QOL-AD
The closer the total score of 52 points, the higher the quality of life, and the closer the minimum score of 13 points, the lower the quality of life.
Measured: Baseline, 8 weeks after treatment, and 16 weeks after treatment
ADAS-Cog14
Total scores range from 0 to 90, with higher scores indicating more worsening.
Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks after treatment

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 12 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
