NCT ID NCT05984056
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a combination of lifestyle interventions—brain training, yoga, music therapy, and a special diet—can slow or reverse early signs of neurological disorders like dementia, stroke, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. Participants are healthy adults aged 50 and older who are at risk. Half receive weekly group sessions for 12 weeks, while the other half serves as a comparison group. The study tracks changes in brain health over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions (brain health training, yoga, music therapy, MINDS diet education)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that lifestyle changes can delay or prevent the onset of common neurological disorders like dementia, stroke, epilepsy, or Parkinson's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with a small number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Lifestyle interventions require long-term commitment, and it is unclear if the effects will be lasting.
