Memory training for older adults with bipolar disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether structured memory and thinking exercises (cognitive stimulation) help older adults with bipolar disorder who have mild to moderate thinking and memory problems. You may be offered guided sessions designed to improve everyday thinking skills while checking safety and fit for the program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether apathy and certain brain markers can help predict memory and thinking problems in people over 70 with bipolar disorder. If you are 70-85, have bipolar disorder, and are currently stable (no recent mood episodes), you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a regular exercise program can help improve thinking and memory problems that often come with bipolar disorder. You must have stable mood and no recent changes to your medications.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help improve thinking and memory in people with bipolar disorder who are in a stable phase. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in cognitive function, and this trial aims to see if it can reduce cognitive problems that often persist even when mood symptoms are controlled.
This study tests a program that combines gentle activities (like meditation, yoga, or tai chi) to help people with mild memory problems feel stronger and more able to handle stress. It is for people aged 60 and older who have mild cognitive issues but are not in therapy or already doing similar practices.
This study tests whether a thinking-and-memory training program (cognitive stimulation) can help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking problems, but not dementia. You must not have had deep brain stimulation surgery.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve thinking skills and daily function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help slow memory decline and keep you independent longer.
