Summary

This pilot study will test whether a specially designed mindfulness program, called Mindful Awareness Practice (MAP), can reduce stress and improve memory, mood, and well-being in older adults (65+) with mild cognitive impairment and high stress. Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to either the MAP program or a health education program. The main goal is to see if the study is feasible and acceptable, not yet to prove effectiveness.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindful Awareness Practice (MAP) - a tailored mindfulness program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment manage stress and possibly slow memory decline.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (30 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. Results may not apply to everyone, and benefits may be modest or absent.
