Inhaling an essential oil for mild memory loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older and have mild memory or thinking problems diagnosed as mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- Your memory test score (MMSE) is 23 or higher, and your dementia rating (CDR) is 0.5.
- You haven't used any essential oils in the past month.
- You are willing to have a neurology check-up, including smell testing.
- You do not have dementia from other causes (like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, or head injury), serious medical conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure), severe sleep problems, or active cancer.

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.
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 study tests if a special cooking oil (DAG oil) can improve memory and thinking in people with obesity and mild cognitive impairment (mild memory or thinking problems). If you have obesity and mild memory issues, this trial may help find a new dietary approach to support brain health.
This Phase 2 study tests whether CBD (a cannabis-derived product) can improve thinking and memory in people who are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. You would be followed for about 24 weeks with memory/thinking check-ins and require a study partner to help with certain assessments.
This trial uses pleasant scents (aromatherapy) to see if they can improve mood and behavior for people with early memory loss. It is designed for individuals who have a caregiver who can help them participate.
This study tests whether breathing controlled low-oxygen air (through a disposable face mask) can improve brain function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). You’d be randomly assigned to the real treatment or a sham (placebo-like) control, and you’d need multiple lab visits.
