Creatine and strength training for memory decline in older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a daily creatine supplement with a 26-week resistance training program can improve memory and thinking in older adults who have mild cognitive impairment. If you qualify, you'll get free supervision and supplements while contributing to research that could help many people.

This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help improve memory, thinking ability, and physical strength in people aged 60–85 with mild cognitive impairment (early memory or thinking problems that don't severely affect daily life). The goal is to see if exercise can slow or improve these changes.
This study tests whether a combination of memory exercises, physical activity, and brain training can help older adults with mild memory problems. You'll participate in group activities designed to strengthen thinking and memory skills.
This study tests whether taking a combination of vitamin D3 and creatine can help older adults with mild mobility problems maintain or improve their muscle function. If you have minor trouble with walking, stairs, or getting in/out of a car, this trial may offer a simple way to help keep your muscles strong.
This study tests whether a creatine supplement, taken with or without a gentle exercise program, can help older adults stay stronger and more independent. It's designed for people aged 75 and older who can still walk.
This study tests whether a mix of physical exercise and computer brain training can improve working memory in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help by strengthening memory skills and supporting brain health through supervised activity and computer-based practice.
This study tests whether a combination of strength training and 'dual-task' exercises (like walking while counting backwards) can improve balance, eye movements, and thinking skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). It may help you keep your memory and physical abilities stronger for longer.
