Study to help prevent memory decline in adults over 60
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks for ways to lower the risk of developing dementia and improve thinking skills in people over 60. You may be eligible if you do not have dementia but have early warning signs of memory or thinking changes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Have at least elementary education, or be able to read and write Chinese
- Screening tests suggest very early memory concerns (AD-8 under 2, or above 2 but no dementia diagnosis after a specialist visit)

This study tests a multi-part program (not just one activity) to help slow down memory and thinking decline in older adults at higher risk. You would complete brief thinking tests and follow the study’s coaching/intervention schedule to see if it helps over time.
This trial tests whether a lifestyle program can help people with mild memory problems (subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment) who also have at least two things that increase their risk for dementia, like high blood pressure or lack of exercise. If you're 50 or older and have these memory issues and risk factors, you may be able to join.
This trial looks for new ways to diagnose memory and thinking problems earlier. It involves a memory test, brain scan, and blood draw to find markers that could help identify cognitive disorders.
This trial tests a lifestyle program to help keep your brain healthy as you age. It is designed for people without dementia who are at higher risk for memory problems. You may join if you are 60 or older, live at home, and have a certain risk score from a simple questionnaire.
This trial tests a program to help maintain or improve memory and thinking skills in older adults. You may join if you are 60-89, speak English, and live at home or in an assisted-living facility.
This study tests a personalized program of lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, brain training, etc.) to see if it can prevent memory loss and keep older adults independent. You may qualify if you are 60+, have mild frailty, and have certain risk factors for dementia.
