An interventional study of Fareon device in Cognitive Dysfunction, Acquired Brain Injury and Traumatic Brain Injury, sponsored by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Enrolling by invitation at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 16 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-28.
Sponsored by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of an at-home MMT treatment in patients with cognitive dysfunction related to acquired brain injury, Long COVID, traumatic brain injury, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and other neurodegenerative diagnoses including but not limited to Alzheimer's disease and to collect data on safety and efficacy to inform the design of larger clinical studies.
3,872 studies on the registry are indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction; 1,119 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 64 across 2,794 interventional studies indexed under Cognitive Dysfunction.

IncInclusion Criteria:
In order to be eligible to participate in this study, an individual must meet all of the following criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Participants with cognitive dysfunction related to acquired brain injury, Long COVID, traumatic brain injury, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), and other neurodegenerative diagnoses including but not limited to Alzheimer's disease
Device: Fareon device
Participants will use the device 2 times per week for 15 minutes at home.
Proportion of participants who complete prescribed device sessions
Device Completion Rate: Proportion of enrolled participants who complete ≥80% of prescribed device sessions over the study period.
Time frame: Week 12 and Week 16
BrainCheck
BrainCheck is a computerized cognitive assessment battery evaluating attention, executive function, memory, and processing speed. Individual task scores are combined to generate a composite cognitive score that is normalized against age-adjusted reference populations. Composite score from 0-200. Higher scores indicate better cognitive performance. Change in composite score from baseline to Week 12 will be evaluated.
Time frame: Week 1 and Week 12
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a 14-item self-report questionnaire assessing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Each item is scored from 0 to 3. The measure generates separate anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) subscale scores ranging from 0-21, and a total score ranging from 0-42. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.
Time frame: Week 1 and Week 12
PROMIS Sleep Disturbance
The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance measure assesses perceived sleep quality and sleep-related impairment. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the reference population. Higher scores indicate greater sleep disturbance.
Time frame: Week 1 and Week 12
Neuro-QoL Cognitive Function (Short Form)
The Neuro-QoL Cognitive Function short form assesses perceived cognitive abilities in everyday life. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 relative to the reference population. Higher scores indicate better perceived cognitive function.
Time frame: Week 1 and Week 12
PROMIS Fatigue
The PROMIS Fatigue measure assesses fatigue severity and the impact of fatigue on daily functioning. Raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 relative to the reference population. Higher scores indicate greater fatigue.
Time frame: Week 1 and Week 12
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a single-item measure assessing participants' perception of overall change in their condition since starting treatment. Responses are rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("very much improved") to 7 ("very much worse").
Time frame: Week 12 and Week 16
Functional Capacity Assessment (FUNCAP)
The Functional Capacity Assessment (FUNCAP-27) is a 27-item questionnaire assessing functional capacity across multiple domains of daily activity. Each item is scored on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6, where 0 indicates inability to perform the activity and 6 indicates no limitation. Item scores are summed to generate a total score ranging from 0 to 162, with higher scores indicating better functional capacity.
Time frame: Week 1 and Week 12 and Week 16

Started May 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2027, 11 months after the start.
Of 1,442 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cognitive Dysfunction, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 51. This study's planned 11 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,511 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 50.
