Preventing Alzheimer’s with brain training for older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether structured computer brain-training can help prevent Alzheimer’s-related thinking problems. You may be more likely to benefit if your thinking is currently normal, and you can safely do the computer exercises every schedule the study requires.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests an “active mind” computer-based program to help improve thinking skills and possibly slow the process toward dementia. You may be randomly assigned to different program options to see which approach works best for your goals.
This study tests whether a new computer-based training program (guided by artificial intelligence) can improve memory and thinking in people who report recent cognitive changes. You’ll be randomly assigned to training or an education/control group and complete testing before and after the program.
This trial studies whether a computer-based brain training program can help thinking skills in older adults. It is designed for people who are generally healthy and have not received similar training before.
This study tests a computer-based brain-training program designed to improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if these exercises can help keep the brain healthy and slow down memory decline.
This study tests different amounts of online cognitive training to see if it can improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive decline. You would do brain exercises from home and be part of a research program that may help slow down age-related changes.
This study tests a computerized brain-training program that adapts to your performance, to see if it helps improve memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. If you join, you'll use a mobile app to do exercises that are personalized to your level.
