Recruiting studies
- NCT05201534Recruiting
Math and thinking skills training for school-age children
This trial studies interventions to improve math and cognitive (thinking) skills in elementary school children. It includes both children with math learning difficulties and typically developing children, using tests and MRI brain scans for those who can participate.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 6–12 - NCT04360200Recruiting
Study of thinking changes in older adults
This trial looks at people over age 50 who have mild thinking or memory problems but do not have dementia by standard clinical criteria. It tests how these early changes are characterized and measured using exams such as blood tests and brain scans, which may help improve understanding and future care.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 50 years+ - NCT04916210Recruiting
Study how stroke type affects thinking and recovery
This study looks at what predicts memory and thinking problems after different types of stroke or brain bleeding, and how blood-vessel changes relate to recovery. You may be invited if you recently had a stroke/bleed and can complete a baseline check within 6 weeks.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05079464Recruiting
Exercise plus brain stimulation to improve memory in early impairment
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program, paired with brain stimulation, can improve thinking and memory in people with early “vascular” cognitive problems (not dementia). It may help your brain function before memory loss becomes more severe.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT05540613Recruiting
Tai Chi versus exercise to help thinking in mild memory loss
This study compares Tai Chi with conventional exercise to improve thinking and memory in older adults who have mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you may be asked to do a supervised exercise program and be tested on thinking abilities over time.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT05886114Recruiting
Lifestyle program to help older adults at risk of memory decline
This trial tests a multi-part lifestyle program to help older adults who may be starting to decline in thinking and memory. It may help slow cognitive decline by combining lifestyle changes over 24 months.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 60–80 - NCT06010511Recruiting
White matter changes and brain fluid study in older adults
This study uses special MRI scans to look at white matter changes in the brain (often linked to memory problems). It may help doctors understand more about these changes in older adults visiting memory or geriatric clinics.
LeidenAges 65 years+ - NCT06150352Recruiting
Sleep apnea and memory in older adults with mild concerns
This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects memory and brain health in people who have mild memory problems or are worried about their memory. You will have a sleep study and brain scans to see if treating sleep apnea could help protect your thinking skills.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT07149038Recruiting
Ear stimulation device study for vascular dementia
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in your ear to help with memory and thinking problems caused by small blood vessel damage in the brain. It's for people with vascular dementia or a milder form called vascular mild cognitive impairment.
Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 55–89 - NCT07672938Recruiting
Olive supplement and Mediterranean diet for mild memory loss
This trial tests whether a dietary supplement made from olive polyphenols, combined with following a Mediterranean diet, can help protect thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may be a good fit if you have early memory changes and want to try a nutrition-based approach.
Thessaloniki, Central MacedoniaAges 50–85 - NCT07416799Recruiting
Home strength training for diabetes and mild memory loss
This study tests whether a home strength-training program using a smartphone app is doable for older adults with type 2 diabetes who also have mild memory problems. You'll do simple exercises at home, and the program may help improve your thinking and glucose control.
Galveston, TexasAges 55–80 - NCT04114994Recruiting
Memory testing study for adults 50 and older
This study checks how people’s thinking and memory change over time using a specific cognitive test. It may help researchers understand patterns of memory change and supports future research on brain health.
Miami, FloridaAges 50 years+ - NCT04335994Recruiting
Home sleep testing for people with memory trouble
This study looks at how well home sleep apnea testing works for people with cognitive impairment (memory/thinking problems) to help improve outcomes. You may be asked to do a home sleep test (and possibly an in-lab test) and will involve a caregiver if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT05591027RecruitingPhase 1
Testing Centella asiatica for memory problems in older adults
This Phase 1 study tests whether Centella asiatica (a plant-based supplement) is safe and reaches its intended target in people with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer’s disease. It also checks how it affects memory-related brain measures like MRI scans, which is why multiple scans are required.
Portland, OregonAges 60–85 - NCT05708001Recruiting
Testing brain stimulation to improve memory in mild impairment
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method (tACS) can improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A caregiver also helps with the stimulation during the study, and success is measured through study visits and memory-related evaluations.
GenevaAges 55–85 - NCT06005038RecruitingPhase 1
Memory training study for older adults with mild cognitive issues
This study tests a computer-based memory training program to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It may help you if you have memory concerns but still live independently.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT06733714Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus memory training for older adults
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical current applied to the scalp (tACS) combined with computer-based brain exercises can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have concerns about their cognitive health.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 50 years+ - NCT06902181Recruiting
Inhaling an essential oil for mild memory loss
This trial tests whether inhaling a special essential oil (CXMCI-01) can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) — a condition where you have more memory problems than normal for your age. The study aims to see if the oil is safe and might improve memory and thinking.
TaichungAges 50 years+ - NCT07296133Recruiting
GAMES brain training for mild cognitive impairment
This study tests whether a computer-based program called GAMES can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) improve their thinking and memory skills.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 50–85 - NCT07395960RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Metformin for older adults with mild memory loss and higher weight
This trial tests if metformin can help older adults (60-75) who are overweight and have mild memory problems. It aims to see if the drug can slow down or improve memory issues.
ShanghaiAges 60–75 - NCT07644156Enrolling by invitation
Exercise and Memory in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Decline
This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 65–95 - NCT03402919Recruiting
Brain and memory study for people with thinking changes
This study looks at memory and thinking changes using questionnaires, memory testing, and brain scans. It may help researchers better understand neurodegeneration and dementia and how these problems show up over time.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for vascular cognitive impairment?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 84 recruiting vascular cognitive impairment studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a vascular cognitive impairment trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a vascular cognitive impairment trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
