Rehab program to improve thinking in recent vascular memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a structured, multi-part rehabilitation program to help people with early dementia symptoms from vascular or mixed causes. If you qualify, you may be offered the rehab program and compared with another approach to see if thinking and daily function improve.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 65 to 80.
- You have early memory/thinking problems rated as Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) 0.5 to 1.
- Your symptoms started less than 12 months ago.
- Your dementia is from vascular causes or mixed causes (not just one other cause).
- In the last 6 months, you have not done other brain training or brain-stimulation programs.

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment, combined with rehabilitation, can improve thinking and other “neurocognition” problems after a recent stroke. It may help people whose thinking has been affected by stroke within the past month.
This trial compares cognitive rehab alone versus cognitive plus motor rehab using high-tech tools for people with multiple sclerosis who have mild thinking problems and some walking difficulty. It aims to see if adding movement exercises improves outcomes more than cognitive training alone.
This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
This study tests whether combining brain training exercises with a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) can improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment linked to vascular problems. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain while patients do thinking tasks.
This study looks at how brain activity relates to thinking problems and whether a cognitive (thinking) assessment and rehab approach can help adults with memory or thinking changes. You may be asked to take thinking tests and complete study activities during rehab.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program, paired with brain stimulation, can improve thinking and memory in people with early “vascular” cognitive problems (not dementia). It may help your brain function before memory loss becomes more severe.
