Usage of functional near-infrared spectroscopy in diagnosis and treatment of mild cognitive impairment
Mild cognitive impairment(MCI)carries a high risk of progressing to dementia,yet there is a lack of specific and accurate screening techniques.Recent research suggests that functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)holds significant potential for screening MCI and evaluating the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.Therefore,this paper aims to review the application and future prospects of fNIRS in diagnosing and treating MCI.The review covered various aspects including the background,assessment of cognitive function,screening methods for MCI,evaluation of therapeutic efficacy,and limitations.The findings of this review can serve as a valuable reference for future clinical studies.
