Tai Chi versus exercise to help thinking in mild memory loss
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 50 or older, and be Chinese (Chinese ethnicity)
- Have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) based on a memory/thinking screening test (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) and a personal concern about memory changes
- Daily activities must be mostly OK (you should be able to do day-to-day tasks without major help)
- You should not have major past or current illnesses like stroke or cancer, and diabetes should be controlled
- You must not have dementia, major psychiatric conditions, or take medicines meant for dementia/psychiatric problems
- You should be able to safely do exercise; you cannot have injuries or mobility problems that stop participation, and you should not be exercising regularly already in the last 3 months

This trial tests a program that combines memory and thinking exercises with physical activities to see if it can help older adults with mild memory complaints. If you join, you'll get a structured training routine that may help slow down further memory decline.
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.
This study tests if a program that combines light physical activity with simple mental tasks can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It is for people who are not already exercising regularly and do not take memory medications.
This study tests whether regular physical exercise can improve memory and thinking skills in people 65 and older who have mild cognitive impairment. Researchers want to see if staying active helps protect brain function.
This study tests whether a mix of physical exercise and computer brain training can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help by strengthening memory skills and supporting brain health through supervised activity and computer-based practice.
This study tests a type of exercise training (doing a physical task while also doing a thinking task) to help older adults with mild memory problems prevent falls. If you have fallen before or have trouble with balance, this program may help you improve safety and coordination.
