Leisure activities and early Alzheimer's study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at how engaging in mentally stimulating leisure activities (like puzzles, reading, or games) may affect brain health in people with early memory concerns. Researchers want to understand the brain changes that happen with these activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how “slower movement” and brain changes relate to memory and thinking problems in people with early dementia (and some related conditions). It may help researchers understand what brain differences go with these symptoms, using tests and an MRI scan.
This study screens people aged 60–80 for early signs of Alzheimer's disease in a community setting. Researchers will ask you questions and may perform brain imaging to understand who might benefit from early detection and treatment.
This study compares two types of brain activities: a computer-based cognitive training program and engaging leisure activities like puzzles or games. The goal is to see which approach better helps memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive concerns.
This study tests a structured lifestyle intervention to help people with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. It is designed for adults with confirmed Alzheimer’s-related brain changes, and may help with symptoms or day-to-day functioning.
This study looks at brain changes in people with mild memory problems to find early signs of Alzheimer's disease. You and a study partner can help by sharing information about your daily life.
This study uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to better understand Alzheimer's disease. It compares people with MCI or Alzheimer's to healthy volunteers to see how the disease affects the brain.
