Can crossword puzzles save your memory? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT06601933

Summary

This study is testing whether regularly doing crossword puzzles can help slow down memory and thinking problems in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that often leads to dementia. Researchers will compare doing four puzzles a week to one puzzle a week, and to a health education group, to see which is most effective. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug activity that people can do at home to help maintain their brain health.
