Exercise and brain training for mild memory problems
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 50 to 80 (men and women of any race or ethnicity)
- You are mostly sedentary (structured exercise less than 3 times per week)
- You can use a computer or iPad and complete the computer brain training (for the training parts of the study)
- You can speak and understand English
- You must be able to pass study checks confirming mild cognitive impairment and staying independent in daily tasks

This study tests a computer-based brain-training program designed to improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It aims to see if these exercises can help keep the brain healthy and slow down 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 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 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 an “adaptive” exercise plan that adjusts over time to help improve aerobic fitness and your body’s fitness response in people with mild memory problems or early Alzheimer’s. It may help you safely build the kind of fitness that supports brain health, while researchers monitor changes with fitness testing and blood work.
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.
