Motor Reserve in Early Dementia Stages
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares how the brain controls movement in people with mild memory loss (MCI) versus healthy people. Researchers want to understand how the brain compensates early on, which could help identify who might develop dementia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 40–85 years
- Fluent Italian speaker or good Italian language understanding
- Either diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) OR cognitively healthy
- No history of psychiatric or neurological disorders unrelated to MCI
- Not currently taking psychiatric or mood-altering medications
- No serious medical conditions affecting movement or motor function

This study looks at how common mild cognitive impairment and dementia are in people staying in rehabilitation units for heart, lung, or orthopedic problems. It aims to understand memory and thinking issues that may be overlooked in these settings.
This study tests a home-based exercise program that combines physical moves with thinking tasks to help people with Parkinson's who have mild memory or thinking issues. It aims to improve both movement and mental function, and you can do it from home with a connected device.
This study tests a combined cognitive (brain) and motor (movement) training program for older adults with mild memory problems. The goal is to see if this training can improve thinking and daily function.
This study tests a smart digital program (app or computer-based) to help with memory, thinking, and daily life in people with early Parkinson's, mild cognitive impairment, or early memory concerns. It uses brain stimulation (TMS) along with cognitive exercises.
This trial tests a personalized digital brain training program for people with mild memory or thinking problems. It aims to see if the training can boost cognitive fitness and help maintain your thinking skills.
This study uses a small wearable device to track walking and movement, which may help spot early signs of memory problems. It aims to see if this technology can help doctors detect cognitive decline sooner.
