ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how our brains work when it comes to thinking and memory, especially in people who may have mild cognitive problems, which are less severe than dementia. The study aims to understand better how to assess these cognitive issues and explore ways to improve memory and thinking skills in individuals experiencing mild cognitive decline or those who feel their thinking has changed but do not have a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment yet.

The trial is open to adults aged 65 to 74 who can walk at least a block. Eligible participants include those who feel they have some cognitive decline, those diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, or even those with normal thinking abilities. However, people who have a clinical diagnosis of dementia or who cannot follow the study's guidelines won't be able to participate. If you join, you can expect to undergo assessments that will help researchers learn more about cognitive health and explore potential strategies for rehabilitation. This is a great opportunity to contribute to important research that could help improve cognitive health for many individuals.
