a custom-made graphene therapy cap
The GFII involved the use of a custom-made graphene therapy cap. The cap consisted of 3 parts: the main body of the cap, the thermostat and the power adapter. One end of the thermostat was connected to the main body of the cap, and the other end was connected to the power adapter; the adapter was plugged into a 220 V household power outlet. This turned on the cap, and the temperature could be adjusted. The light energy conversion rate of the graphene coating material used in the cap reached 90%, generating a temperature of 40 °C. Five caregivers were responsible for providing care for the elderly individuals. We will provided standardized training on the GFII to their caregivers. Each caregiver was responsible for assisting with the intervention of the elderly individuals that they usually cared for.
A regular cap that generates heat
The rest of the procedure is the same as the GFII group, but the cap used is a regular cap that can heat up to 40°C.
