Olfactory training for mild cognitive impairment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether daily scent training can help improve memory and thinking in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that is more than normal aging but not dementia. You would smell different odors at home and track your progress.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special memory training program using virtual reality can improve thinking skills in people with mild cognitive impairment. It may help slow memory loss and keep your mind sharper.
This trial uses remote, at-home (or remote) smell-based testing to help researchers assess health in people with preclinical Alzheimer’s disease and in control participants. It may help by showing how well smell-related changes can signal disease status over time.
