NCT ID NCT05948930
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 25, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining brain training with aerobic exercise for 12 weeks can improve brain function in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that can lead to dementia. Researchers will measure changes in brain structure, blood flow, and thinking skills in 90 adults aged 50-80. The goal is to gather data for a larger future trial.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug approach to slow cognitive decline in people with mild cognitive impairment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage pilot study (90 people) focused on measuring brain changes, not proving clinical benefit. Results may not lead to a treatment.
