Tai chi program to slow memory decline in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a long-term tai chi program can delay worsening of “subjective cognitive impairment,” where people feel their memory is getting worse but testing is not showing dementia yet. It may help by improving brain and physical function over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 60 to 75 years old when screened
- You have subjective cognitive impairment (mostly memory worries that started within the past 5 years)
- You can do study activities, tests, and have the ability to understand and answer questions
- You can have MRI brain scans (MR is required)
- Your memory test score is not too low (MOCA must be 26 or higher)

This study looks at how different amounts of Tai Chi practice help improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild memory problems. Researchers want to understand the best dose of Tai Chi for brain health.
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.
This study tests whether combining mental exercises with gentle physical activities can help people with mild memory problems think and remember better. It is for older adults who have noticed their memory slipping but can still take part in group activities.
