ClinConnect Summary

The Comfortage trial is a study aimed at understanding strategies for preventing Alzheimer’s disease and related cognitive decline. It focuses on individuals who may be experiencing early signs of memory issues, such as subjective cognitive impairment (where a person feels their thinking is not as sharp as it used to be) or mild cognitive impairment (where there is a noticeable decline in cognitive abilities but daily activities can still be performed independently). This study is open to adults aged 50 to 85 who can clearly communicate in Italian and who have not participated in other specific Alzheimer treatment trials.

Participants in the trial will be asked to share their experiences and undergo assessments to determine their cognitive abilities. It's important to note that this study does not involve any medications or devices; instead, it aims to gather valuable information about cognitive health. If you or a loved one fits the criteria and is interested, keep an eye out for when the study begins recruiting participants. Your involvement could contribute to important discoveries in Alzheimer’s prevention.
