Mediterranean diet and olive compound for mild memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a Mediterranean diet combined with a natural compound found in extra virgin olive oil (oleocanthal) can help people with mild memory problems (mild cognitive impairment). It aims to see if this combination can slow down or improve memory decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can speak, read, and understand Greek well enough to complete the study's tests.
- You are willing to have an MRI scan, a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) to collect fluid for biomarker testing, and take memory tests at the start of the study.

This study tests whether a special drink containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs, a type of fat) and B vitamins can help support memory and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You would take the drink daily for 18 months and have regular check-ins including memory tests.
This trial tests whether inhaling a special essential oil (CXMCI-01) can help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) — a condition where you have more memory problems than normal for your age. The study aims to see if the oil is safe and might improve memory and thinking.
This trial studies a non-medication (non-drug) program to improve memory and daily thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer’s disease. It may help by supporting brain function and monitoring symptoms over time.
This trial tests whether taking fish oil can improve memory and thinking in adults who are obese and have mild cognitive impairment. If it works, it could offer a simple way to help protect the brain in people with weight-related health issues.
This study tests a computer-based memory training program to see if it can improve memory and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. It may help you if you have memory concerns but still live independently.
This trial tests whether a dietary supplement made from olive polyphenols, combined with following a Mediterranean diet, can help protect thinking and memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may be a good fit if you have early memory changes and want to try a nutrition-based approach.
