Cognitive Reserve and Recovery from Fatigue in Older Adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how life experiences and education (cognitive reserve) help older adults bounce back from mental fatigue. Researchers want to find out if higher cognitive reserve leads to faster recovery after tiredness, which could improve quality of life.

This study looks at how fatigue affects physical and mental abilities in older adults. If you are 60 or older and generally healthy (without serious medical conditions), you may be able to help researchers understand this connection.
This study looks at how being physically tired affects your ability to think and perform tasks at the same time. It may help understand why dual-tasking gets harder when you're fatigued.
This trial studies how your brain responds when you feel mentally and physically tired, using trained healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand fatigue better, which could guide future treatments for people who struggle with fatigue.
This study looks at how mental tiredness changes the way your body holds itself upright and how your spine responds to movement. Researchers want to understand the connection between a tired brain and physical control.
This study looks at how mental tiredness affects walking. Researchers will measure your brain activity and walking patterns to understand how cognitive fatigue impacts movement.
This study asks people to do tasks while the researchers measure brain activity, to understand how the brain represents the “cost” of effort. It may help improve understanding of effort-related problems in mental and neurological conditions.
