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.

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 trial tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) can improve thinking and memory in people with bipolar disorder who are in a stable mood phase. You would receive TMS sessions and complete computer-based thinking tests to see if it helps.
This study tests whether a combination of memory exercises, physical activity, and brain training can help older adults with mild memory problems. You'll participate in group activities designed to strengthen thinking and memory skills.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (tDCS—similar to a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp) can improve thinking and memory problems that sometimes occur alongside recurring depression in people over 60. You'll receive the treatment alongside your regular depression care.
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.
