Adaptive walking and fitness program for mild memory decline
This study tests an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT05457725Recruiting
Study how aging affects learning to trust and distrust

Dual-task exercise to help prevent falls in memory trouble
This study tests a type of exercise training (doing a physical task while also doing a thinking task) to help older adults with mild memory problems prevent falls. If you have fallen before or have trouble with balance, this program may help you improve safety and coordination.
Springfield, OregonAges 65–95 - NCT06095297Recruiting
Cognitive rehab for brain fog from long COVID
This study tests a computer-based cognitive training program combined with a gentle nerve stimulation device to see if it can improve brain fog and daily functioning in people with long COVID. If you're struggling with thinking, memory, or concentration after COVID, this might help.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05894967Recruiting
