NCT ID NCT06524388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a computerized brain-training program can improve thinking skills in older adults (60+) who have type 2 diabetes and are at high risk for dementia. 120 participants will be randomly assigned to either adaptive cognitive training or a placebo version, both delivered on a tablet. The training lasts 6 months, and researchers will measure changes in memory, attention, and other cognitive functions using the MoCA test.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
adaptive cognitive training (computerized brain exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, non-drug way to help older adults with diabetes keep their thinking sharp and possibly delay dementia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 120 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The training is time-consuming, and improvements may be modest or not last long.
