NCT ID NCT05467410
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether doing brain-training exercises in the morning or the afternoon helps older adults (60+) recover thinking skills after a stay in the intensive care unit. Forty participants will either train in the morning, in the late afternoon/evening, or receive usual care. The main goal is to see if the timing is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
computerized cognitive training (Lumosity brain games)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show the best time of day for brain exercises to help older ICU survivors recover thinking and sleep.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 40 people. It is not designed to prove the training works, only whether it is possible to do.
