Dual-Task Mouth and Memory Training for Oral Frailty
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a program that combines mouth exercises with memory tasks to see if it can improve both chewing, swallowing, and thinking skills in people who have oral frailty and some memory decline.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older and speak Cantonese.
- You have at least two signs of oral frailty, like fewer natural teeth, trouble chewing, or a dry mouth.
- You've noticed your memory or thinking getting worse in the last year, or a doctor has said you have mild to moderate cognitive issues.
- You live independently or with a little help (like using a walker but not needing full care).
- You are right-handed (to make brain scan results consistent).
- You have not done any special mouth exercises or cognitive training in the past 6 months, and you don't have other conditions that might affect your thinking.
