Improving functional outcomes in cognitively frail older adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a program combining cognitive exercises, physical activity, and brain stimulation to improve daily function and thinking in older adults with mild cognitive or physical frailty. The goal is to help you stay independent and improve your quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
