摘要：
A randomized controlled trial was conducted to examine the effects of bright light therapy on agitation in older adults with dementia in Macao. This study involved 31 participants: 10 in the outdoor light treatment group, 11 in the indoor light-box treatment group, and 10 in the control group. Significant reductions in agitation were observed in the two treatment groups over four weeks compared to the control group. However, no statistical difference in in cognitive function between experimental and control groups was found. This study supports the use of bright light therapy to reduce agitation in older people with dementia.
